The George Washington University School of Engineering
and Applied Science (SEAS) honors a century-old commitment
to be active in cutting-edge research and development in the engineering
sciences. Through its institutes, centers, and special programs, SEAS
extends academic investigation not only into departments at other schools
within GW, but also into industry and other areas of society. This
expansion of the classroom introduces students to the true nature of
engineering as practical, interdisciplinary, and socially active. Various
research activities apply advanced technologies and relevant research findings
to all practicable areas of instruction.
SEAS fosters an environment in which students
can prepare themselves for rewarding and productive lifelong careers as
engineers, applied scientists, and computer scientists. Research programs
at an engineering graduate school are the full-scale equivalent of a
teaching hospital attached to a medical school: the learning experience is
more practically relevant and career-oriented when coupled with the
physical reality of actual situations.
At SEAS, a variety of focused research institutes enables one to pursue
directed, in-depth study in a chosen field. Qualified graduate students may
be supported through research grants, scholarships, and fellowships.
Research assistantships often support thesis and dissertation efforts.
Working side by side with University faculty, visiting professors and
scholars, and scientists from government and industry, one can participate
in the development and harnessing of emerging technology.
