The school is located on the main campus of the George Washington University and offers both undergraduate and graduate programs.

The design of the Science and Engineering Hall combines flexible, reconfigurable spaces within common areas on each floor to promote collaborative thinking and to integrate lectures and laboratories with hands-on projects.

Other key features of the building include: a vibration and particulate-free nanotechnology facility, a three-story high-bay including a strong wall and floor with easy access to a street level loading dock, and a multi-use auditorium and media center for science and engineering symposia and conferences.

The building was designed by architecture firm Ballinger and conceptualized to meet the growing research needs of engineering disciplines.

After four years of construction, which included demolishing the campus' largest parking deck, the building was completed in November 2014.

The Science and Engineering Hall is the largest academic building dedicated to these fields in Washington, D.C.

Faculty and students conduct research programs across a wide array of topics, leveraging the proximity of the GW Schools of Medicine and Public Health, Children's National Medical Center, and federal agencies to do so.

[7] SEAS has research laboratories dedicated to high-performance computing, nanotechnology, robotics, transportation engineering, among other fields, including: Biomedical engineering research at the George Washington University includes biofluid dynamics, medical imaging, cardiac electrophysiology, plasma medicine, therapeutic ultrasound, nanomedicine and tissue engineering.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at SEAS has eleven full-time teaching and/or research faculty Archived 2007-06-27 at the Wayback Machine.

[citation needed] Technical Tracks: Offered through the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the electrical engineering program focuses on signal processing; communication theory and practice; voice, data, video and multimedia communication networks; very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuit design and applications; and control systems.

In terms of gender ratio, 27% of the graduate students at SEAS are female, one of the highest in the country.

They may be completed full-time or part-time on George Washington University's main campus in Foggy Bottom & off-campus sites in Arlington, Virginia: Offered through the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the M.S.

and Ph.D. programs in Biomedical Engineering are designed to prepare students to apply engineering principles to problems in medicine and biology; to understand and model attributes of living systems; and to synthesize biomedical systems and devices.

The program offers a flexible schedule that includes courses in the late afternoon and evening, as well as the ability to choose a thesis or non-thesis degree option.

Through research and teaching, the department contributes to computing breakthroughs that are fueling advances in medicine, communications, transportation, security, and other areas vital to society and the world.

As the first such degree offered in the D.C. area, students acquire up-to-date knowledge and skills in cybersecurity, an increasingly important field to national security, the economy, and private citizens.

Students take a combination of core courses focused on design and analysis of algorithms; computer architectures; and advanced software paradigms.

This qualifies students for internships, scholarships, and job opportunities with the U.S. government in the cybersecurity field.

[CPC]) follows this history, bringing a fully online cybersecurity master's degree to those seeking critical positions at the managerial level leading an organization's cyber practices.

Each program consists of 4–6 courses to be completed within one calendar year or at the student's desired pace.

Some notable alumni include Ian Waitz (Vice Chancellor of Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Stanley Crane (CEO of Southern Railway (U.S.) and member of the National Academy of Engineering), Mario Cardullo (inventor of read-write Radio-frequency identification), and Christopher J. Wiernicki (CEO of American Bureau of Shipping), among numerous others.
