5 Ways ASU Makes Electrical and Computer Engineering Degrees ...
src: oneclassblog.com

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (often abbreviated to Fulton Schools) is one of the 24 independent school units of Arizona State University. It provides undergraduate and graduate programs for engineering, computer science, and construction students. Fulton Schools comprises six engineering schools on both ASU's Tempe and Polytechnic campuses: the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering; the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering; the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy; the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment; and The Polytechnic School.

History

The Fulton School was started in 1954 as the College of Applied Arts and Sciences. In 1956, the first bachelor's degree program in engineering was approved. The School of Engineering was created in 1958. In 1970, the Division of Construction was added.

In 1992, through a gift of the Del E. Webb Foundation, an endowment was set up to create the Del E. Webb School of Construction. A separate school was created for technology and, in 1996, the Schools of Technology and Agribusiness moved to the Polytechnic Campus.

In 2002, the Department of Bioengineering was renamed the Harrington Department of Bioengineering in honor of a $5 million gift from the Harrington Arthritis Research Center.

Also in 2002, the office of Global Outreach and Executive Education (GOEE) was established to provide industry partners seeking a global and flexible anytime/anyplace learning environment for their engineers to complete advanced degrees. In 2003, the program began offering engineering graduate degrees completely online. Currently, ten master's degree programs, three graduate-level academic certificate programs, and undergraduate degree programs in engineering management and electrical engineering are offered through the GOEE office.

In 2003, Ira A. Fulton, founder and CEO of Fulton Homes, established an endowment of $50 million. The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences was renamed in his honor. The new Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering was reconstructed to include five separate and interdisciplinary schools: The School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering; the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering; the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy; and the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment.

Also in 2003, the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering added many specialties for undergraduate biomedical engineering students. Those specialties include: Imaging, Biomechanics, Neural, and Molecular, Cellular, Materials engineering.

In 2007-2008, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering commemorated 50 years of excellence in education and research. In the fiscal year ending in 2015, the estimated research expenditures for the Fulton Schools rose to $89.06M.

In 2013, ASU Online launched its Online Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Electrical Engineering, which is currently one of three ABET-accredited online programs in the field in the United States.

In 2014, the College of Technology and Innovation on ASU's Polytechnic campus was renamed The Polytechnic School and became the sixth school in the Fulton Schools.

Location

The Fulton Schools is located within The Brickyard on Mill Avenue complex in downtown Tempe, Arizona, as well as on the main campus of Arizona State University (the two sites are connected by a bus route called ORBIT) and The Polytechnic School, located in Mesa, Arizona. The Brickyard also contains the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Institute for Computing and Information Science and Engineering, the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing, the Center for Research in Arts, Media and Engineering, the Consortium for Embedded and InterNetworking Technologies, the Partnership for Research in Spatial Modeling (PRISM), and the Software Factory. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and the Institute for Computing and Information Science and Engineering (CIDSE) also have a Tutoring Center located at Centerpoint in downtown Tempe, located on the northwest corner of Mill Avenue and University Drive.
