As the largest school for engineering and technological talent in the nation, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University has the scale and breadth to offer a number of nationally recognized areas of focus among the school’s broad range of technical expertise. With more than 23,000 undergraduate engineering, computing and technology students enrolled across 25 undergraduate programs, the Fulton Schools of Engineering has unlocked the formula for delivering excellent engineering education, all at scale.
Out of 208 universities included in the survey, the Fulton Schools of Engineering now ranks No. 34 overall, and No. 20 among public universities, across undergraduate engineering programs. ASU’s engineering school is up two spots in the last two years (No. 36) and has risen eight spots from three years ago (No. 42).
“It’s heartening to see the breadth and depth of our contributions to technological innovation acknowledged among the nation’s best engineering programs,” says Kyle Squires, ASU’s vice provost of engineering, computing and technology and dean of the Fulton Schools of Engineering. “The research and entrepreneurial breakthroughs happening in the Fulton Schools begin with our faculty. That passion is translated into our students’ classroom experiences and the research and experiential learning engagements we provide access to during their time at ASU and beyond. These rankings reflect how solutions developed here are advancing society and earning recognition among our peers.”
Eight areas of study in the Fulton Schools of Engineering now rank among the top 30 undergraduate engineering areas in the nation, according to U.S. News. ASU’s undergraduate areas of civil engineering, cybersecurity, computer engineering, electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering are rated among the best nationally.
