Our areas of expertise span departmental and disciplinary boundaries and capture the depth and breadth of the work of the school's faculty and students. This exploration and study solves real world problems, enhances lives, and makes the world safer, cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous.
Our graduates are helping shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in ways that benefit society. From developing AI systems that assist doctors in diagnosing disease to creating intelligent infrastructure that keeps cities moving efficiently, George Mason students gain the technical depth and ethical perspective needed to build responsible AI.
Employers actively seek those who not only know the "how" of data analytics but who can also explain the "why" in terms that non-experts can understand. Our programs in computer science, systems engineering, electrical and computer engineering, information sciences, and statistics include a major focus on Big Data.
As more of the world's business goes online, digital information becomes a primary target, meaning demand by government, companies, and organizations for cybersecurity experts will continue to rise. Our close ties with government and industry, funding for advanced projects that shield systems, and high-level research make our graduates highly sought.
Our Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Statistics programs use engineering and computing concepts and tools to improve human health through research and innovation. Their smarter technologies address a variety of medical needs; from precise robotic surgical tools to more seamless patient chart communication.
Our researchers are designing and testing a variety of robotic mechanisms to aid in discovery, recovery, and remediation of industrial accidents while lending these advances to solutions that improve everyday life. George Mason is making the college a leader in advanced robotic controls and design.
George Mason has a long reach into the fields of defense, transportation, biotechnology, and telecommunications through degree concentrations in such fields as electromagnetic, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and signal processing.
The College of Engineering and Computing leads in the development of sustainable cities and villages through innovation, research and practice; our engineers will transform concepts into reality and work to find solutions to such issues as the impact of flooding caused by climate change.
