Cornell Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Information

The Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has roots at Cornell that coincide with the founding of the University in 1865. Since then, the Sibley School has grown to become one of the largest academic units in the University, home to 41 faculty members and nearly 500 undergraduate and graduate students, who come from all over the world to create an atmosphere that is both challenging and welcoming. We have world-class facilities, exceptional academic programs, and our research is focused solely on the cutting edge of tomorrow’s science and technology. While these factors contribute to our school’s success, the one thing that truly sets us apart is the dedication and hard work of our faculty, students, and staff. Currently housed in Thurston, Kimball, Upson, Grumman and Rhodes Halls, the Sibley School is the home of the mechanical engineering B.S. degree program, as well as graduate programs in the fields of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and theoretical and applied mechanics. Join us in breaking rules for the greater good.
