By building knowledge in structural design, history and policy, Princeton engineering student Jayla Cornelius hopes to work toward sustainable infrastructure and environmental justice.

From making cities more sustainable and cooler, to combatting climate change and a global pandemic, to raising the next generation of programmers, Princeton Engineering carries on a hundred-year tradition of global impact.

Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering… That’s what they are known by today, but over time the departmental names have shifted with the needs of society. Electrical engineers from Princeton have built the smallest microchips and the biggest companies. Civil engineers here have built “structural art” that combines high functionality with dazzling beauty.

Three recent university graduates joined Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy this fall as the inaugural class of Emerging Scholars, a program aimed at helping people start careers that combine technology and public policy.

Princeton researchers have taken a step toward developing a type of antenna array that could coat an airplane’s wings, function as a skin patch transmitting signals to medical implants, or cover a room as wallpaper that communicates with internet of things (IoT) devices.
