Fast Facts

Rankings

The Case School of Engineering is ranked among the nation's top 50 graduate engineering programs by U.S. News & World Report and top 10 in biomedical engineering.

Case Western Reserve University ranks 12th among private institutions and 24th overall in federal expenditures for science and engineering research development.

Science & Technology Centers

The Center for Layered Polymeric Systems (CliPS) is our first National Science Foundation-funded Science and Technology Center with total federal support of up to $40 million in its 10-year lifetime. CliPS integrates polymer science with research in nanotechnology, optics, laser physics, membranes, biomedical engineering and other scientific disciplines.

Our newly established Science and Technology Application Center (STAC) located in San Diego, Calif., and led by Mehran Mehregany, Goodrich Professor of Engineering Innovation, enables us to bring Case???s world-class talent base and Northeast Ohio???s lower-cost structure to the Pacific Rim and Asia for technology transfer.

Urban Challenge

In our first appearance in the DARPA Grand Challenge, TeamCASE and its self-driving robotic car DEXTER finished in the finished in the top 20 out of an initial international field of more than 80 competitors, beating schools such as Caltech, Georgia Tech and Princeton.

Energy & Environment

Created with a $3.6 million grant from the Cleveland Foundation and supported by the new Milton and Tamar Professorship in Energy Innovation, The Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation will enhance research in the generation, transportation, utilization and storage of energy to help solve the greatest engineering challenge of our time.

Graduates

Ninety-seven percent of employers say Case engineers produce faster than their peers. Two out of three graduates have worked at least one seven-month cooperative education assignment, while others have completed internships or offsite research projects.
