In most U.S. universities, women continue to be in the minority among students enrolled in graduate-level engineering degree programs. The numbers, however, have been rising in some of those programs, including those at leading universities of high academic standing. In a recent ranking of the top 20 universities with the highest percentages of women in full-time, part-time, master’s and doctoral engineering programs, the Fulton Schools placed fifth in the nation. Along with its numerous graduate degree programs in person and online, ASU’s Fulton Schools has in recent times been the launching pad for 11 business startups, 178 invention disclosures, 34 license agreements and 106 U.S. patents issued based on ideas from students and researchers.
