Cornell University College of Engineering

The College of Engineering is a division of Cornell University that was founded in 1870 as the Sibley College of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanic Arts.
The college is also known for a number of firsts. It currently grants bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in a variety of applied fields, and is the third largest undergraduate college at Cornell by student enrollment. Also, the college offers over 450 engineering courses. The annual research budget of the College of Engineering exceeds $112 million. In 2006, Bill Gates donated $25 million for the construction of a new Computer Science building.

Reputation
With about 3,000 undergraduates and 1,300 graduate students, the college is the third-largest undergraduate college at Cornell by student enrollment.

The Engineering Quad, was designed in the 1940s and 1950s on a site previously occupied by the Old Armory and faculty housing, using a master plan developed by the Perkins and Will firm. It has undergone major changes in recent years, particularly with the completion of Duffield Hall. In 2004, relandscaping with a design inspired by Cascadilla Gorge was completed and its landmark sundial was restored to its rightful place on the quad (after having been stored in Upson Hall during the construction period) the home of the Chemical Engineering department.

Future Developments
The College of Engineering offers 13 undergraduate majors, 15 undergraduate minors, 17 MS/Ph.D fields and 14 Master of Engineering fields. The College of Engineering grants degrees in the following programs of study.
