Message from the Dean

Welcome to Arizona State University. We are very excited about the partnership and look forward to your participation as one of our valued students.

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University is focused on educating engineers for the 21st Century. As the pace of technological change accelerates, there is an increasing demand for engineers who can work in academia and industry, as well as other fields such as business and policy making, to improve the quality of life. Engineering education trains students to have strong analytical skills and practical ingenuity that is necessary for solving problems in a variety of disciplines. To function successfully in a rapidly changing global economy, the engineer of the future must be creative, have good communication and business-management skills, and provide leadership to the community. Lifelong learning coupled with flexibility will enable engineers to adapt to new fields and careers throughout life.

As we celebrate the tremendous strides of the first 50 years of engineering at ASU, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering is poised to generate thousands of engineers of the future that embody the vision and mission of the school and benefit from and contribute to the New American University created by ASU President Michael Crow.
