The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied science (popularly known as SEAS or Columbia Engineering; previously known every bit Columbia School of Mines) is the engineering and practical science schoolhouse of Columbia University. Information technology was founded as the School of Mines in 1863 and then the School of Mines, Engineering and Chemistry before becoming the School of Engineering and Applied Science. On October 1, 1997, the schoolhouse was renamed in honor of Chinese businessman Z.Y. Fu, who had donated $26 one thousand thousand to the schoolhouse.

The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Scientific discipline maintains a close research tie with other institutions including NASA, IBM, MIT, and The World Found. Patents owned by the school generate over $100 1000000 annually for the academy. SEAS faculty and alumni are responsible for technological achievements including the developments of FM radio and the maser.

The School's practical mathematics, biomedical applied science, calculator scientific discipline and the financial engineering program in operations research are very famous and highly ranked.^{[i] [2]} The current SEAS faculty include 27 members of the National Academy of Applied science and one Nobel laureate. In all, the faculty and alumni of Columbia Engineering have won ten Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry, medicine, and economic science.

The school consists of approximately 300 undergraduates in each graduating class and maintains shut links with its undergraduate liberal arts sis school Columbia College which shares housing with SEAS students. The School's current dean is Shih-Fu Chang, who was appointed in 2022.^[three]

History [edit]

Original charter of 1754 [edit]

Included in the original charter for Columbia College was the management to teach "the arts of Number and Measuring, of Surveying and Navigation [...] the cognition of [...] various kinds of Meteors, Stones, Mines and Minerals, Plants and Animals, and everything useful for the Comfort, the Convenience and Elegance of Life." Engineering science has always been a part of Columbia, even before the institution of any split schoolhouse of applied science.

An early and influential graduate from the school was John Stevens, Class of 1768. Instrumental in the institution of U.Due south. patent law, Stevens procured many patents in early steamboat technology, operated the first steam ferry between New York and New Jersey, received the first railroad charter in the U.S., congenital a pioneer locomotive, and clustered a fortune, which immune his sons to found the Stevens Institute of Applied science. (Excerpt from SEAS website.)

When Columbia University first resided on Wall Street, applied science did not have a school under the Columbia umbrella. Afterwards Columbia outgrew its space on Wall Street, it relocated to what is now Midtown Manhattan in 1857. Then President Barnard and the Trustees of the Academy, with the urging of Professor Thomas Egleston and Full general Vinton, canonical the School of Mines in 1863. The intention was to establish a School of Mines and Metallurgy with a three-year plan open up to professionally motivated students with or without prior undergraduate training. It was officially founded in 1864 under the leadership of its first dean, Columbia professor Charles F. Chandler, and specialized in mining and mineralogical engineering. An instance of work from a pupil at the School of Mines was William Barclay Parsons, Form of 1882. He was an engineer on the Chinese railway and the Cape Cod and Panama Canals. Nigh importantly he worked for New York, as a chief engineer of the metropolis's first subway system, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. Opened in 1904, the subway's electrical cars took passengers from City Hall to Brooklyn, the Bronx, and the newly renamed and relocated Columbia University in Morningside Heights, its present location on the Upper Westward Side of Manhattan.

Renaming to the School of Mines [edit]

In 1896, the school was renamed to the "School of Mines, Applied science and Chemistry". During this time, the University was offer more the previous name had implied, thus the modify of name.

The faculty during this time included Michael I. Pupin, after whom Pupin Hall is named. Pupin himself was a graduate of the Class of 1883 and the inventor of the "Pupin curlicue", a device that extended the range of long-distance telephones. Students of his included Irving Langmuir, Nobel laureate in Chemistry (1932), inventor of the gas-filled tungsten lamp and a contributor to the development of the radio vacuum tube. Another student to work with Pupin was Edwin Howard Armstrong, inventor of FM radio. Afterwards graduating in 1913 Armstrong was stationed in France during Globe State of war I. There he developed the superheterodyne receiver to detect the frequency of enemy aircraft ignition systems. During this catamenia, Columbia was besides abode to the "Begetter of Biomedical Engineering" Elmer L. Gaden.

Recent and future developments [edit]

The university connected to evolve and expand as the Usa became a major political ability during the 20th century. In 1926, the newly renamed School of Engineering prepared students for the nuclear age. Graduating with a master'southward degree, Hyman George Rickover, working with the Navy's Agency of Ships, directed the development of the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, the Nautilus, which was launched in 1954.

The school's beginning woman graduate received her degree in 1945.^[iv] After a substantial grant of $26 1000000 from Chinese businessman Z. Y. Fu, the engineering school was renamed again in 1997. The new name, equally it is known today is the Fu Foundation Schoolhouse of Engineering and Applied science. SEAS continues to exist a teaching and research institution, now with a large endowment of over $400 meg, and sits under the Columbia umbrella endowment of $7.ii billion.

Admissions [edit]

The admissions rate for the SEAS undergraduate grade of 2018 was approximately 7%.^[5]

Approximately 95% of accustomed students were in the top 10% of their graduating course; 99% were in the top 20% of their class. 58% of admitted students attended loftier schools that do not rank. The yield rate for the form of 2014 was 59%.^[6]

Equally for Saturday scores, SEAS students within the Columbia University community have raised the composite SAT statistic for the undergraduates at Columbia University.^{[7] [8]} The Course of 2013's Sabbatum interquartile range was 2060–2320 and 1400–1560 (old Sabbatum). The ACT blended interquartile range was 32–34.

Those accepting enrollment at Columbia SEAS typically completed applied science programs at the undergraduate level and are pursuing professional graduate school in engineering, business organisation, constabulary, or medical school, so equally to become what Columbia terms "engineering leaders." Engineering leaders are those who pioneer or ascertain engineering: patent lawyers, doctors with specialties in biophysical applied science, financial engineers, inventors, etc.

Columbia Engineering's graduate programs take an overall credence charge per unit of 28.0% in 2010.^[9] The PhD student–kinesthesia ratio at the graduate level is four.2:1 according to the 2008 data compiled past U.S. News & World Written report.^[10] PhD credence rate was 12% in 2010.

Specialized centers [edit]

Columbia Engineering science faculty are a fundamental forcefulness in creating many groundbreaking discoveries that today are shaping life tomorrow. They are at the vanguard of their fields, collaborating with other world-renowned experts at Columbia and other universities to bring the all-time minds from a myriad of disciplines to shape the future.

Large, well-funded interdisciplinary centers in scientific discipline and engineering science, materials inquiry, nanoscale research, and genomic research are making step changes in their corresponding fields while individual groups of engineers and scientists interact to solve theoretical and practical problems in other significant areas. Last year, Columbia Technology's 2007–2008 research expenditures were $92,000,000, a very respectable number given the small size of the school. Harvard'southward inquiry expenditures in the same period were $35,000,000. Columbia Engineering PhD students have ~60% more monetary resources to work with using the enquiry expenditure : PhD pupil ratio.

Specialized labs [edit]

The Fu Foundation School of Applied science and Applied Science occupies five laboratory and classroom buildings at the north end of the campus, including the Schapiro Center for Engineering and Physical Scientific discipline Research and the new Northwest Building on Morningside Heights. Considering of the School's close proximity to the other Morningside facilities and programs, Columbia engineering science students have access to the whole of the University's resources.

Carleton Laboratory main testing flooring

The School is the site of an almost overwhelming array of basic and advanced research installations which include both the NSEC and the MRSEC NSF-funded interdisciplinary research centers, too as the Columbia High-Beta Tokamak, the Robert A.W. Carleton Forcefulness of Materials Laboratory, and a 200g geotechnical centrifuge.

The Botwinick Multimedia Learning Laboratory is the School'southward facility for calculator-aided design (CAD) and media development. It is equipped with 50 Apple Mac Pro 8-core workstations, besides as a cluster of Apple tree Xserves with Xraid storage, that serve the lab'due south 300-plus users per semester.

Other programs [edit]

• Undergraduate Research Involvement Plan
  • Each SEAS department sponsors opportunities to do novel undergraduate research which take applications in the real world. Departmental Chairs supervise students through the process, and mentoring with a professor is provided.
• Materials science and applied science
  • Program in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, sharing teaching and research with the faculty from Henry Krumb School of Mines.
• Reckoner engineering
  • Administered by both the electrical engineering science and informatics departments through a joint computer engineering committee.
• The combined program programs
  • The 3–2, B.A./B.Southward., is designed to provide students with the opportunity to receive both a B.A. degree from an affiliated liberal arts college and a B.S. degree from SEAS within five years. Students consummate the requirements for the liberal arts caste forth with a pre-engineering form of study in iii years at their college so complete two years at Columbia.
  • The 4–2 M.South. plan is designed to let students to complete an M.S. degree at SEAS in two years afterwards completion of a B.A. degree at 1 of the affiliated schools. This programme will let students the opportunity to take undergraduate engineering courses if necessary.
