CCNY Grove School of Engineering

Combining access with outstanding instruction and research, The Grove School of Engineering at The City College of New York plays a key role in developing a diverse workforce to meet the technological challenges facing today’s world. Named for Andrew S. Grove, ’60ChE, a Hungarian immigrant who became one of the founders of Intel Corp., it is the only public school of engineering within New York City and one of the most diverse engineering schools in the nation.The Grove School traces its roots to the earliest days of The City College, which was established in 1847 as The Free Academy. In 1853, a class in civil engineering became a requirement for all students. The City College School of Technology, which became the School of Engineering in 1962, was established in 1919.Today, approximately 3,300 students pursue degrees at the Baccalaureate, Masters and Ph.D. levels in seven disciplines: Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Grove School graduates are highly sought after in the marketplace. Prominent corporations such as General Electric, IBM, Raytheon and Toyota, as well as leading agencies at the federal, state and local level regularly recruit from the Grove School.When Andrew S. Grove gave his transformative gift in 2005, the 11th City College President, Gregory H. Williams, said it would “enable The City College School of Engineering to take its place among the best schools of engineering in the nation.” The Grove School of Engineering is engineering a future that fulfills that prophesy.
