In its 2012 rankings, U.S. News and World Report ranks Cornell second in engineering science/engineering physics programs and fourth among biological/agricultural engineering programs. (Sept. 13, 2011)
On Sept. 8, the Student Assembly unanimously approved a resolution that will create an ad-hoc committee to 'unite students in support of the NYC tech campus." (Sept. 9, 2011)

Cornell leaders are developing tech campus programs under interdisciplinary domains, or hubs, rather than using the traditional university organization of colleges, schools and departments.
