Research

The C.V. Starr Foundation at The Cooper Union serves as the primary research unit of the School of Engineering. By encouraging and supporting research, the foundation augments the educational opportunities for students, enhances professional development of faculty and provides services to the community through its research and development efforts.

Participation in research activities by faculty and students is essential to the vitality of our educational programs. In attempting to meet this objective, the C.V. Starr Research Foundation plays an important role for faculty and students having research talent who wish to pursue sponsored research individually or in concert with other faculty and students.

Projects undertaken by the Foundation are externally funded. Faculty serve as project directors, assisted by other faculty members, outside consultants and undergraduate and graduate students of The Cooper Union.

For further information on the Foundation and its projects, contact the foundation by telephone at (212) 353-4291 or by fax at (212) 353-4031.

In addition, faculty engage in a number of independent research projects, which are described in their respective departmental Web sites.
