Mission of the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS)

GW Engineering strives to be a preeminent engineering school with recognized and differentiated strengths in high-quality education and high-impact research that leverage our competitive advantages and our diverse community. These strengths emerge from the synthesis of technical expertise, a broader perspective, and our unique location in the nation’s capital, empowering our faculty, students, and alumni for leadership, innovation, and societal impact. This “engineering and…” mindset drives GW Engineering to partner with other GW schools and colleges and with companies and government agencies around DC and the world to connect engineering to other disciplines and to responsibly translate innovations to society. This mindset also represents a differentiated value proposition to prospective students and faculty, external partners, funding agencies, and donors.
