The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (often abbreviated to Fulton Schools) is an independent school unit of Arizona State University. It provides undergraduate and graduate programs for engineering, computer science, and construction students. Fulton Schools comprises six engineering schools on both ASU's Tempe and Polytechnic campuses: the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering; the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering; the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy; the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment; and The Polytechnic School.^[1]

History

The Fulton School was started in 1954 as the College of Applied Arts and Sciences. In 1956, the first bachelor's degree program in engineering was approved. The School of Engineering was created in 1958. In 1970, the Division of Construction was added.^[2]

In 1992, through a gift of the Del E. Webb Foundation, an endowment was set up to create the Del E. Webb School of Construction. A separate school was created for technology and, in 1996, the Schools of Technology and Agribusiness moved to the Polytechnic Campus.

In 2002, the Department of Bioengineering was renamed the Harrington Department of Bioengineering in honor of a $5 million gift from the Harrington Arthritis Research Center.

Also in 2002, the office of [https://asuengineeringonline.com/online-degrees Global Outreach and Executive Education (GOEE)] was established. GOEE supports the Fulton Schools and the global engineering community through a portfolio of online degree programs which include undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well as graduate certificates. GOEE also makes available professional development and executive education programs to global professionals and organizations. In 2003, GOEE began offering engineering graduate degrees completely online. Currently, twelve master's degree programs, two graduate-level academic certificate programs, and eight undergraduate degree programs are offered and supported through the GOEE office.

In 2003, Ira A. Fulton, founder and CEO of Fulton Homes, established an endowment of $50 million. The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences was renamed in his honor. The new Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering was reconstructed to include five separate and interdisciplinary schools: The School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering; the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering; the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy; and the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment.

Also in 2003, the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering added many specialties for undergraduate biomedical engineering students. Those specialties include: Imaging, Biomechanics, Neural, and Molecular, Cellular, Materials engineering.^[3]

In 2007-2008, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering commemorated 50 years of excellence in education and research. In the fiscal year ending in 2015, the estimated research expenditures for the Fulton Schools rose to $89.06M.

In 2013, ASU Online launched its Online Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Electrical Engineering, which is currently one of three ABET-accredited online programs in the field in the United States.^[4]

In 2014, the College of Technology and Innovation on ASU’s Polytechnic campus was renamed The Polytechnic School and became the sixth school in the Fulton Schools.
