The Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering (often abbreviated to Fulton School) is one of the 24 independent school units of Arizona State University. It provides undergraduate and graduate programs for engineering, computer science, and construction students. The school is ranked 41st in the nation for undergraduate programs, 47th for graduate programs and five graduate majors are in the top 30, according to U.S. News & World Report. Its Industrial Engineering programs are ranked in the top 15.

History

The Fulton School was started in 1954 as the College of Applied Arts and Sciences. In 1956, the first bachelor's degree program in engineering was approved. The School of Engineering was created in 1958. In 1970, the Division of Construction was added.

In 1992, through a gift of the Del E. Webb Foundation, an endowment was set up to create the Del E. Webb School of Construction. A separate school was created for technology and, in 1996, the Schools of Technology and Agribusiness moved to ASU Main Campus.

In 2002, the Department of Bioengineering was renamed the Harrington Department of Bioengineering.

In 2003, Ira A. Fulton, founder and CEO of Fulton Homes, established an endowment of $50 million. The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences was renamed in his honor.

Location

The Fulton School is located within The Brickyard on Mill Avenue complex in downtown Tempe, Arizona, as well as on the main campus of Arizona State University (the two sites are connected by a bus route called ORBIT). The Brickyard also contains the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Institute for Computing and Information Science and Engineering, the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing, the Center for Research in Arts, Media and Engineering, the Consortium for Embedded and InterNetworking Technologies, the Partnership for Research in Stereo Modeling, and the Software Factory.
