Imagine The Future
Stanford Engineering pushes the frontiers of modern science and engineering through teaching and research. The future is limited only by our imagination, and the possibilities are endless.
Our mission is to seek solutions to important global problems and to educate leaders who will turn great ideas into real changes that will make the world a better place. We measure our success by how well we:
- Generate new knowledge and advance the progress of research.
- Deliver world-class, research-based education to students, and broad-based training to leaders in academia, industry, and society.
- Facilitate technology transfer, applying people and ideas to improve our society and our world.
At the Intersection of Disciplines
A multidisciplinary, broad-based approach is central to our vision. We believe boundaries are always permeable. Our close collaboration with other schools on campus and with industry strengthens our academic programs. Our successes in education and research have not only trained generations of leaders and created new knowledge but also have helped change the faces of technology, medicine, business, and many other fields.
A Catalyst for Change
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford Engineering has been the catalyst for many of the technologies and companies that define "The Valley," and which have in turn shaped the school. The success of this interaction is most apparent in the Bay Area, but it extends worldwide.
Many of our faculty, students, and alumni are renowned for their entrepreneurship. They have evolved a model of academic/industrial collaboration and technology transfer that is emulated around the world. The interaction sustains and enhances the school, as the excellence of our research and academic programs continues to attract the world's best faculty and students.
