Who We Are:

Cornell’s College of Engineering (COE) has a long and storied history of distinction, creativity and impact.  The departments of mechanic arts (now mechanical engineering) and civil engineering date to the University’s founding. The College established the nation’s first electrical engineering department in 1889 and awarded the nation’s first doctorates in both electrical and industrial engineering.  Its legacy continues to this day, as Cornell Engineering brings together the best minds from across disciplines to invent disruptive technologies and discover novel solutions to complex and challenging problems.  It is a global leader in research, teaching, and advancing diversity in the field.  COE is also a key collaborator across the rich interdisciplinary landscape at Cornell University, playing a role in all of the university’s Radical Collaborations to address society’s most challenging problems.  The college enrolls a diverse and talented student body that includes 3,200+ undergraduate students and 2100+ graduate students, and has over 46,600 living alumni around the globe.  COE is home to a diverse, collaborative, talented and dedicated 200+ tenured and tenure-track faculty, plus research faculty and professors of practice who work each day to change the world.  Faculty span 10 departments, schools and programs with a footprint in both Ithaca and New York City. 

Cornell Engineering Project Teams mimic real-world engineering by bringing Cornell students, faculty, and staff together to solve complex problems in team-based settings. Breaking the rules of conventional wisdom is not foreign to our engineers and the spirit of innovation is alive and well in our state-of-the-art labs and workshops. Many of our teams compete regionally, nationally, and internationally in engineering design and build competitions and/or travel the globe for service learning projects and programs. Staff members working with Cornell Engineering’s Project Teams partner with faculty members, Alumni Affairs & Development, College leadership and other university resources to foster multidisciplinary collaboration across the University’s seven colleges and provide support to over 1,100 student participants.

Cornell’s College of Engineering currently offers professional Master of Engineering (MEng) degrees in 15 different disciplines. Originally established in 1965 as a “fifth-year” option for Cornell Engineering undergraduates, the MEng programs have expanded considerably in size and geographic footprint over the years and continue to evolve to meet the needs of today’s rapidly changing business environments. Currently there are over 700 full-time MEng students on the Ithaca campus, over half of whom completed undergraduate degrees elsewhere, and roughly 65% of whom are international. All MEng programs share the common goals of advancing the breadth and depth of their students’ core disciplinary knowledge and providing them with opportunities to synthesize and apply this knowledge to practical engineering design problems. Cornell MEng alumni number in the tens of thousands. The MEng plays a critical strategic role in the College of Engineering’s portfolio of degree offerings, and its continued success hinges upon providing a valuable program experience and enhanced career opportunities for students.

This is a shared position involving support for the Project Team Director and the Director for Master of Engineering Programs Support Services.
