Our mission is to excel in research, teaching and entrepreneurship. We aim to inspire and educate engineers for the 21st century. We are committed to quality, integrity, and respect for each other.

Sustainable Urban Environments (SUE)  is a unique interdisciplinary B.Sc. program that addresses both social and technical issues that are critical to environmental problems, particularly as they relate to cities.  Courses are necessarily multidisciplinary in order to offer students an appreciation of the variety of policy, planning, and engineering approaches needed to support livable, sustainable and equitable cities. The program takes a global perspective on sustainable cities while making use of New York City as an urban laboratory. We also co-sponsor a 5 year BS-MS program with the NYU Wagner School of Public Policy.

SUE  is one of three undergraduate majors in the Department of Technology, Culture, and Society, which also sponsors a BSc. in Science and Technology Studies, and a BSc. and M.S. in Integrated Digital Media. Our department also has two affiliate research institutes, AI Now!, which studies the social, cultural, and economic impact of artificial intelligence, and Gov Lab, which studies how to use technology to govern more effectively and legitimately.
