Columbia University Fu Foundation School of Engineering and
Applied Science
The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science offers
broad-based instruction within
 a
major research university and is ideally suited to educate
tomorrow's engineering leaders and encourage technical literacy. Our
engineering and applied science programs, which are among the
nation's oldest and most influential, embrace new technologies and
interdisciplinary possibilities. Innovative approaches, including
computer-assisted design, the use of "smart" materials and
collaborations with other Columbia departments and schools are
opening frontiers in an expanding host of fields: from financial
engineering to corrosion control, cryogenic manufacturing to
biomedical engineering.
Biomedical Engineering - MS, PhD
The programs in biomedical engineering at Columbia prepare students
to apply engineering and applied science to problems in biology,
medicine and the understanding of living systems and their behavior,
and to develop biomedical systems and devices. The programs offered
in the Department of Biomedical Engineering seek to emphasize the
confluence of basic engineering science and applied engineering with
the physical and biological sciences, particularly in the areas of
biomechanics, cell and tissue engineering, and biomedical imaging.
Chemical Engineering - MS, PhD
The Department of Chemical Engineering at Columbia is committed to a
leadership role in research and education in frontier areas of
research and technology where progress derives from the conjunction
of many different traditional research disciplines. Increasingly,
new technologies and fundamental research questions demand this type
of interdisciplinary approach.
The undergraduate program provides a chemical engineering degree
that is a passport to many careers in directly related industries as
diverse as biochemical engineering, environmental management and
pharmaceuticals. Whichever path the student may choose after
graduation, the program offers a deep understanding of the physical
and chemical nature of things and provides an insight into an
exploding variety of new technologies that are rapidly reshaping the
society we live in.
Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics - MS, PhD
The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics
focuses on two broad areas of instruction and research. The first,
the classical field of civil engineering, deals with the planning,
design, construction and maintenance of structures and the
infrastructure. These include buildings, foundations, bridges,
transportation facilities, nuclear and conventional power plants,
hydraulic structures and other facilities essential to society. The
second is the science of mechanics and its applications to various
engineering disciplines. Frequently referred to as applied
mechanics, it includes the study of the mechanical properties of
materials, stress analysis of stationary and movable structures, the
dynamics and vibrations of complex structures, aero- and
hydrodynamics, and the mechanics of biological systems.
Computer Engineering - MS
The undergraduate program incorporates most of the core curricula in
both electrical engineering and computer science so that the
students will be well prepared to work in the area of computer
engineering, which substantially overlaps both fields. Both hardware
and software aspects of computer science are included, and, in
electrical engineering, students receive a solid grounding in
circuit theory and in electronic circuits.
The computer engineering program offers a course of study leading to
the degree of Master of Science (MS). The basic courses in the MS
program come from the electrical engineering and computer science
departments. Students completing the program are prepared to work
(or study further) in such fields as digital computer design,
digital communications and the design of embedded computer systems.
Computer Science - MS, PhD
The computer science curriculum at Columbia places equal emphasis on
theoretical computer science and mathematics and on experimental
computer technology. A broad range of upper-level courses is
available in such areas as artificial intelligence, computational
complexity and the analysis of algorithms, combinatorial methods,
computer architecture, computer-aided digital design, computer
communications, databases, mathematical models for computation,
optimization and software systems.
Earth and Environmental Engineering - MS, PhD
The earth and environmental engineering program fosters education
and research in the development and application of technology for
the sustainable development, use and integrated management of
Earth’s resources. Resources are identified as minerals, energy,
water, air and land, as well as the physical, chemical and
biological components of the environment. There is close
collaboration with other engineering disciplines, the Lamont-Doherty
Earth Observatory, the International Research Institute for Climate
Prediction, the Center for Environmental Research and Conservation,
and other Columbia Earth Institute units.
Electrical Engineering - MS, PhD
The faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department at Columbia
University is dedicated to the continued development of further
innovations through its program of academic instruction and
research. Our undergraduate academic program is designed to prepare
the student for a career in industry or business by providing her or
him with a thorough foundation of the fundamental concepts and
analytical tools of contemporary electrical engineering.
A master’s level program permits the graduate student to further
specialize her/his knowledge and skills within a wide range of
disciplines. For those who are interested in pursuing a career in
teaching or research, our PhD program offers the opportunity to
conduct research under faculty supervision at the leading edge of
technology and applied science. Research seminars are offered in a
wide range of areas, including telecommunications, very large scale
integrated circuits, photonics and microelectronics.
Engineering Management Systems – MS
The Master of Science program in Engineering Management Systems
(EMS) provides students with a curriculum that emphasizes both
technology and management perspectives in solving problems, making
decisions and managing risks in complex systems. Students pursuing
this degree program are provided with a rigorous exposure to
deterministic optimization and stochastic modeling, a basic coverage
of applications in the areas of operations engineering and
management, and an in-depth coverage of applications in the areas of
the selected concentration.
Graduates from this program are expected to assume positions as
business analysts in logistics, supply chain, revenue management and
consulting firms, and as financial analysts in risk management
departments of investment banks, hedge funds, and credit card and
insurance firms.
This program has two concentrations:
Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization (LSCO)
Revenue and Risk Management (RRM)
Industrial Engineering - MS, PhD
Industrial engineering is the branch of the engineering profession
that is concerned with the design, analysis and control of
production and service operations and systems. In industrial
engineering, research is conducted in the area of logistics,
routing, scheduling, production and supply chain management,
inventory control, revenue management and quality control.
Materials Science and Engineering - MS, PhD
Undergraduate and graduate programs in materials science and
engineering are coordinated through the materials science and
engineering program in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied
Mathematics. This program promotes the interdepartmental nature of
the discipline and involves the Departments of Applied Physics and
Applied Mathematics, Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry,
Electrical Engineering, and Earth and Environmental Engineering (EAEE)
in the Henry Krumb School of Mines (HKSM) with advisory input from
the Departments of Chemistry and Physics.
Mechanical Engineering - MS, PhD
The department is home to such diverse activities as biomechanics,
mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, control,
manufacturing, energy systems, MEMS and Nanotechnology. As
mechanical engineers, a central theme that underlies our research
and education philosophy is an emphasis on products and machines-
from analysis and design to it's control and manufacture.
