Employers target Cornell Engineers because they are outstanding students who have been shaped by rigorous academics, exceptional faculty, state-of-the art facilities, and an interdisciplinary educational system that promotes innovation across academic boundaries.
Cornell Engineers are creating a better future by accelerating innovation. Solar ovens in Senegal, a water purification project in Honduras, and a project to turn biomass waste into energy in Nigeria are just some of the ways Cornell Engineers are creating lasting solutions for society. The Solar Decathlon Team placed second nationally and the Formula SAE Race Car Team won its ninth world championship. An all female team won first place in a national game design contest. To learn more, see the complete list of Cornell project teams. Cornell is also transforming the artificial intelligence, nanoscience, advanced materials, and molecular biotechnology fields.
