Research at Princeton Engineering improves human health, protects the environment, strengthens national security, creates business opportunities and fosters an unparalleled educational environment for future leaders.
It does so through an emphasis on fundamentals and societal relevance. Princeton engineers, as part of the University's tradition of excellence in mathematics and physical sciences, discover fundamental principles that underlie many forms of technology. They also connect closely to industry and to the humanities and social sciences at Princeton, including public policy and the arts.
This combination of fundamental research and societal relevance allows Princeton Engineering to address critical human problems at their root level.
The School of Engineering and Applied Science has 125 faculty members who conduct about $50 million per year in research sponsored by government, industry and private foundations.
