49510 Juniorseasaccordion V2 Spread.Indd Why Columbia Engineering? You’re an engineer if… …you want to make a difference in the world. …you open your family’s old television (or car engine, microwave, or doorbell) just to see how it works. …you created towers and bridges with blocks as a kid — and now dream about building them in the real world. …you look at a computer, a cellphone, a skyscraper, and think: why was it made this way? How could it be made better? …you love to get your hands on a good problem — the tricky, impossible- seeming kind. …you like thinking of ways to make life easier, happier, better. This is an invitation to people like you. It’s an invitation to explore a field for curious, creative problem-solvers — a field called engineering. So, what exactly do engineers do? They use science and math to conceive of, design, and develop better, stronger, taller, faster, smarter solutions in fields as diverse as medicine, finance, and entertainment. Engineering is cures for disease; clean water; cyber security; investment banking; renewable energy; animation; the next great computer game or smart phone. New Media — Columbia Professor Nuclear Power — 1929 graduate Dimitris Anastassiou’s invention of Admiral Hyman George Rickover MPEG-2 makes possible DVDs, Robotics — 1946 Columbia graduate directed the planning and construction direct satellite TV, and personal Joseph Engelberger is widely considered of the world’s first nuclear submarine, computer video. the “Father of Modern Robotics.” Nautilus, launched in 1954.
