Columbia Engineering has launched a new research center, the Columbia Electrochemical Energy Center (CEEC), to address energy storage and conversion using batteries and fuel cells in transformative ways. Watch how the center tackles new energy solutions from atoms to the grid. This multi-faceted approach is driven by collaborations between participants from many disciplines.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) with industry partners is investing $100 million to advance next generation wireless networks. Led by Columbia Engineering with research partners at Rutgers, and NYU, the platform, called COSMOS, will be a testbed in West Harlem for data-intensive applications, virtual reality, and smart cities.

By working at the intersection of engineering, biology, and medicine, the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University offers students a unique opportunity to solve problems and better understand living systems and their behavior. From this knowledge comes the development of biomedical systems and devices that improve the health of humanity.

The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics has access to some of the greatest engineering projects and companies in the world, here in NYC. Developing novel ways to monitor the safety of suspension bridges using sensors. Determining the effectiveness and efficiency of green roofs. Designing new building materials that have superior strength and at the same time are environmentally friendly and compatible with sustainable development. Defining the state-of-the-art in analyzing and designing structures using computers. Our department identifies emerging issues in the complex interactions between the built and natural environment.
