Mission of the Engineering School Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, as part of a world-class teaching and research university, strives to educate socially responsible engineering and applied science leaders whose work results in the betterment of the human condition, locally, nationally, and globally. We push beyond the boundaries of current research by fostering a community of scientific inquiry in critical areas of knowledge, including “CyberBioPhysical TM Systems,” where the biological, physical, and digitial worlds integrate and fuse, and where the innovative solutions will be found to solve current grand challenges in health— in mind and body; sustainability—in energy, climate, or water; information—theoretical or applied; and systems, open or closed. Our School seeks to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem to bring the innovations developed in our classrooms and laboratories out into the world to directly improve and enhance society on a global scale. engineering 2011–2012
a message from the dean As students of The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University, you are part of a long line of engineering and applied science leaders who have studied at Columbia. Across the centuries, our alumni have exemplified the excellence, leadership, and impact that defines Columbia Engineering. John Stevens (Class of 1768), inventor of the steamboat, William Barclay Parsons (Class of 1882), chief engineer of New York’s first subway line, Robert C. Merton (Class of 1965), Nobel laureate in economics, and NASA Astronauts Gregory Johnson (Class of 1985), who successfully piloted the space shuttle Endeavour on its last mission, and Michael J. Massimino (Class of 1984), who twice repaired the Hubble Space Telescope, are but some examples. You are among the select few who have joined our community for an education that will enable you to become part of the next generation of socially responsible engineering and applied science leaders whose work results in the betterment of the human condition. You, too, will become part of the history of this School, which is inextricably entwined with Columbia University’s and with the city of New York. We foster an engineering education paradigm that is symbolized by the Greek letter π. The first support column of the π is the depth of knowledge you gain in your engineering or applied science major. The second is the knowledge you acquire through a minor, or your involvement in entrepreneurship initiatives, research opportunities, and community-based servicelearning. The overarching connector of these two foundations, the crossbeam of the π, is Columbia’s famed liberal arts Core Curriculum, the umbrella that positions engineering and applied science within the context of the larger society, for the betterment of the human condition and the sustainability of our planet. Some of you will choose to make an impact by bringing together your knowledge and leadership in pandisciplinary research, perhaps in an area that I call “CyberBioPhysical Systems”—where the biological, physical, and digital worlds intersect and fuse. These areas bring together our knowledge of sensors, materials, nanotechnology, and biological systems and hold promise as a frontier for the development of innovative solutions to the most challenging problems of modern society. You are part of a School that offers great opportunities for learning and advancement within a premier research university that is situated in the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of New York. I encourage you to take full advantage of all these opportunities. Feniosky Peña-Mora Dean engineering 2011–2012
