**Where Jasper engineers have dreamed up, designed and built New York City for more than a century.**

All Jasper engineers begin with the basics and progress through a varied and advanced engineering curriculum, solving real problems in the labs with professional equipment and technology. Rooted in a liberal arts foundation, the School of Engineering provides an education that is both powerful and human. Across five departments, students build a strong academic foundation, take on hands-on research and internships from the first year, and graduate ready to break new ground in New York City and around the world.
