MISSION STATEMENT

The NYU Tandon School of Engineering dates to 1854, when the NYU School of Civil Engineering and Architecture as well as the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute (widely known as Brooklyn Poly) were founded. Their successor institutions merged in January 2014 to create a comprehensive school of education and research in engineering and applied sciences, rooted in a tradition of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. In addition to programs at its main campus in downtown Brooklyn, it is closely connected to engineering programs at NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai.

The importance of private support to recognize our students is enormously significant. Most of these awards were created by individuals to honor and recognize in perpetuity a family member, alumnus or professor. To all those whose gifts created and sustain these awards and prizes, the NYU Tandon School of Engineering acknowledges with grateful appreciation and sincere thanks your expression of support for our students.

nyu.edu/giving/give-now

To be a world-class engineering school that puts students first and is home to lifelong learning. We will be the place that makes the American Dream possible; the home of engaged critical thinkers and makers of the future. Our culture of diversity, inclusion, equality, and respect will make us the place where every smart woman and underrepresented minority engineer wants to be. Our students and faculty will tackle strategic societal challenges using a global vision and network, ensuring that our cutting-edge innovations are thoughtfully and successfully introduced into society.
