In 1967 the Moore School History was written to inform visitors about the history of The Moore School and its aims.
« history »
The creation and dissemination of scholarly research in both basic and applied arenas to be an international center of engineering excellence and the regional catalyst for technological innovation has placed The Moore School at the very focal point of research and application in the areas of motion-capture, SWARM and Nano-Technologies, cyber-physical systems integration, Metananocircuits, robotics, urban transit, mobile solar power, prosthetic device enhancements, and much, much more. The title song, To Dream the Impossible Dream, of the play “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes is simply a challenge to the best of the best, Penn Engineers from The Moore School. Each student, faculty and researcher is imbued with the words of George Bernard Shaw: "Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.” Engineers from Penn’s Electrical and Systems Engineering have and are working to relentlessly push the boundaries of current engineering disciplines for the application of existing problems and those of tomorrow.
The design and delivery of engineering education known for its rigor, breadth and relevance to prepare its students to become global leaders in technology-based fields is the second tenet of the Penn Engineering Mission Statement. The Faculty of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the Moore School are noted around the world as leaders in their specialized disciplines
Creativity and the absolute desire to be the “best of the best” are the most fundamental elements that make up Moore School Engineers. The student and faculty body is diverse, multi-cultural, and dedicated to being the best at anticipating and solving the problems of society.
