Cornell University’s College of Engineering is a rigorous and dynamic intellectual community, part of a constellation of Cornell colleges and schools that make up a world-class research university. One of the top engineering schools in the country, the College of Engineering is also one of the highest-performing fundraising Colleges at Cornell University, with the most capable donor base of any unit. A major goal is to propel Cornell Engineering to the forefront of education and research in engineering and a position among the top five best engineering schools in the United States. The College will enable further development and diversification of programs at Cornell Tech, a hotbed of engineering opportunities, with a current campus in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood and an upcoming Roosevelt Island location. The unparalleled synergy between these campuses furthers Cornell’s ultimate goal to create the “Silicon Valley” of the east.
