About Us
New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States. NYU
Tandon School of Engineering has an illustrious past as Brooklyn Poly and NYU Polytechnic
School of Engineering. Our mission is to excel in research, teaching, and entrepreneurship. We
aim to inspire and educate engineers for the 21st century. NYU Tandon faculty are world
renowned leaders in science and technology, with a strong commitment to research, innovation,
and entrepreneurship that make a difference in the world. We lead and have ties to
multidisciplinary centers in wireless technology, cybersecurity, urban informatics, data sciences,
artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and health, among others. Our faculty and students are
part of the high-tech start-up culture in New York City and in downtown Brooklyn, and we
support four “future lab” business incubators that connect our students and faculty to today’s
innovation economy. With NYU’s unrivaled global network of campuses, we promote a truly
global engineering education. We are deeply committed to teaching and learning.
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at MAE at NYU Tandon educates
future engineers who develop the physical systems and devices that modern society demands,
from automobiles to air conditioning, prosthetic limbs to autonomous machines, and rocket
engines to satellites. Our faculty are breaking new ground in fluid and thermal systems, controls
and robotic systems, and computer-integrated mechanical and electromechanical systems, the
modeling and simulation of complex systems, among other areas. Recent research has led to
breakthroughs in lightweight new protective materials with applications in national defense,
sports medicine, and transportation; robots that aid in the education of children with autism;
technological methods of leading wildlife away from danger areas; aspects of complex urban
systems that impact how people live and work in dense urban environment
NYU Tandon is committed to substantially increase the proportion of our faculty from historically
underrepresented groups in STEM and we encourage candidates from such groups to apply.
We aspire to create a climate where diversity and inclusion are not only appreciated but
considered an asset for creativity and innovation, and we seek faculty who have a real passion
for a culturally diverse environment. We take pride in our high numbers of female students and
students who are the first in their family to go to college. NYU belongs to the Higher Education
Recruitment Consortium (HERC), which assists with dual-career searches, and our faculty are
