The School of Engineering & Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a bold plan to become one of the world's leading engineering schools. As our vision develops we will focus on three key questions:
- What are the major global challenges facing our society?
- What are the fundamental research questions to address?
- How can our engineering school make significant and unique advancements in these areas?
Excitement and technological advances in research and education often exist at the interfaces between engineering and other disciplines. The school's plan is to create innovative partnerships across disciplines at Washington University, as well as with industry and other universities in the United States and abroad. Its strategy will build on the school's engineering strengths and develop its intellectual efforts on interdisciplinary approaches to research areas in the environmental and health sciences.
The school aspires to improve the quality of life by making revolutionary discoveries in the areas of health, energy, environment, and security and by preparing the leaders of tomorrow through innovative undergraduate and graduate educational programs.
