Why Stanford
Why study engineering at Stanford? The world-renowned yet approachable faculty might be a key factor. The opportunity to conduct research in state-of-the-art labs. The chance to study engineering within a liberal arts environment, where multidisciplinary research is encouraged and facilitated. The proximity to Silicon Valley and the learning from industry partners. The reasons are many. View a movie that gives you a sampling of the various things that Stanford Engineering students do.

World class, down to earth
Stanford Engineering faculty are eager to involve students at all stages of research and offer students many opportunities to participate, both through formal programs such as the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), and through the everyday invitation that's rooted in our tradition: Knock on any door, and it will open.

Many labs, one purpose
A compelling aspect of engineering is the joy of making things work: remote medical imaging that saves lives; nanoscale structures that create remarkable new materials; or orbiting instruments that plumb the fundamental laws of the universe. Stanford offers space to investigate, design, and create in an unsurpassed arena of labs, research centers, and affiliate programs. Search our labs and centers.
Collaboration across disciplines
Stanford is paramount among universities in the spirit of open collaboration throughout the school and the university as a whole. A multidisciplinary, broad-based approach is central to our vision. Partnerships within the university, such as the Department of Bioengineering, a joint department between the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine, enhance our academics and expand the opportunities available to students.
A catalyst for change
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford Engineering has been the catalyst for many of the technologies and companies that define "The Valley," and which have in turn shaped the school. Our faculty, students, and alumni are well known for their entrepreneurship. They have evolved a model of academic/industrial collaboration and technology transfer that is emulated around the world. This interaction allows our solutions to reach the marketplace and often presents challenging new problems to work on. The excellence of our research and academic programs continues to attract the world's best faculty and students.
