GW Engineering Welcome to the GW School of Engineering and Applied Science! Small school, big impact.

GW Engineering is a preeminent engineering school with recognized and differentiated strengths in high-quality education and high-impact research that leverage our competitive advantages and our diverse community. These strengths emerge from the synthesis of technical expertise, a broader perspective, and our unique location in the nation’s capital, empowering our faculty, students, and alumni for leadership, innovation, and societal impact. This “engineering and…” mindset drives GW Engineering to partner with other GW schools and colleges and with companies and government agencies around DC and the world to connect engineering to other disciplines and to responsibly translate innovations to society. GW Engineering offers Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees from 6 academic departments: Biomedical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Engineering Management & Systems Engineering, and Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. In addition to providing technical depth, our academic programs curate “engineering and…” learning experiences for our students, such as courses and projects with other schools across campus, research experiences in our state-of-the-art Science and Engineering Hall laboratories, internships and jobs at companies and government agencies around the globe, innovation and entrepreneurial experiences in the GW Innovation Center, and study abroad programs with our many international partners. GW Engineering also offers several successful online graduate programs, which primarily serve working professionals. The most popular programs include “engineering and…” themes such as Cybersecurity Policy & Compliance and Engineering Management.

GW Engineering was the proud host of the 2026 Clark Scholars Program Network Summit!

After this inspiring weekend, we’re reflecting on the incredible impact these sophomore scholars from across 11 schools made—both in the community and with each other.

“Even though we all come from different backgrounds and attend different universities, it was nice seeing how much we could relate to one another, especially when it came to our goals and the opportunities we’re working towards,” said Jason Azumah, an electrical engineering major at GW Engineering.

From designing tech prototypes for local K-12 students to supporting global communities, the summit showcased leadership and innovation in action: go.gwu.edu/cspn26

It’s , and we’re going inside GW Engineering’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering to explore innovation happening at the nanoscale.

In GW’s Nanofabrication & Imaging Center, Associate Professor Gina Adam and her research team work on emerging nanoelectronic devices and technologies that could help shape the future of computing.

Because sometimes, changing the world starts with engineering something you can’t even see with the naked eye. 👀

For , we’re highlighting the work underway in GW Engineering’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where researchers are exploring nanoscale technologies and their potential to shape the future of computing and electronics.

Associate Professor Gina Adam’s research focuses on emerging nanoelectronic devices and their use in novel computing systems. Her work takes place in a specialized cleanroom environment on campus, GW's Nanofabrication & Imaging Center, where researchers can fabricate and study devices at extremely small scales while carefully controlling contaminants.

From brain-inspired chips powering our devices to technologies still being imagined, nanotechnology demonstrates how engineering at the smallest scales can have an outsized impact.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders, service members, and everyday people who stepped forward in the face of tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to carry their stories with us and reflect on the resilience and unity that emerged in the days that followed.

The GW Engineering community joins our nation—and our neighbors here in Washington, D.C.—in remembrance.

What does undergraduate research look like at GW Engineering?

For Anya Spevacek and Will Carr, it means spending the summer designing and testing a device that could help make draining fluid from around the heart more accessible and effective, including in rural areas and other settings outside traditional hospitals.

Their work is one of many projects supported by GW Engineering’s Summer Undergraduate Program for Engineering Research (SUPER), which provided research opportunities to 20 students across all six of our departments this summer.

From medical devices and robotics to aerodynamics and resilient food systems, our students aren’t waiting until after graduation to tackle real-world challenges.

The first week of classes is just the beginning. ⚙️

At GW Engineering, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Through organizations like the GW chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), students can put what they’re learning into practice! Along the way, they’re building more than technical skills. They’re gaining experience in leadership, collaboration, problem-solving, and turning ideas into impact.

As a new semester begins, we encourage our students to explore everything GW Engineering has to offer. You never know where saying “yes” to a new opportunity might take you.
