Today, the world faces more engineering, scientific, and policy challenges than ever before. Exploring and solving these problems will require the best efforts of engineers and scientists integrating their knowledge, expertise, and creativity with a variety of other experts in global and social issues. Georgia Tech’s research efforts in particular are focused on tackling the most important and complex issues facing our world in the hope of serving the needs of citizens of society-at-large.
The College is Making an Impact
High-impact research that improves the lives of others drives the College of Engineering. Accomplished faculty members across our eight Schools are the best at what they do, creating knowledge and solutions in areas like bioengineering, cybersecurity, space exploration, advanced materials, and additive manufacturing.
The College excels at pushing the boundaries of innovation in engineering through interdisciplinary research collaboration. Our best-in-class faculty annually secure hundreds of millions of dollars in awards and grants to pursue their ideas.
Research in the College meets the needs of our local communities and our home state of Georgia. Our discoveries generate global impact, improving human society at large. Our research is funded through collaborations with industry and nonprofits as well as contracts with government agencies, such as the Department of Energy, NASA, and the Department of Defense.
