Engineering, in the form of "mechanic arts," was among the first academic offerings at Cornell. The program quickly made its mark by producing the first electric generator in the United States. The College of Engineering has continued that tradition of innovation by engaging in cutting-edge exploration and development, from nanoengineering biomolecular motors to designing earthquake-resistant infrastructure. Its faculty members are leaders in their fields, top-flight researchers, and excellent teachers. Cornell engineering students lead the nation in academic achievement and potential. The college's network of more than 33, 000 alumni work for world-class corporations, universities, research facilities, and government agencies, providing mentorship opportunities, co-op placements, internships, and jobs.
