As the demand for well-prepared engineers, builders, makers, designers and innovators continues to grow, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering strives to set the standard for engineering education, research and entrepreneurship through our world-class teaching, learning and research environments.
We understand — and embrace — our obligation to the economic vitality of our region through the workforce we develop and train as well as the research advances our faculty achieve. Our size and diversity, global connections and ability to rapidly innovate have cornered the market for engineering in Arizona and the Southwest.
We see a changing world that needs your ideas right now. The Fulton Schools focus on creating solutions for problems happening right now in energy, health, sustainability, security and education. This means getting outside of the classroom from day one to conduct the use-inspired research that will transform our world.

“I chose to switch my major to chemical engineering because it still gives me the chance to pursue a career in sustainability, but it also gives me the opportunity to pursue a variety of other roles in different industries,” she says.
Micayla wanted to address the issue of single-use plastics, so she joined the Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative, known as FURI, to get practical experience working on this problem.
“My research project will help combat this issue by making a recyclable polymer with the thermal and mechanical properties necessary to replace single-use plastics in various applications,” she says.
Outside of research, Micayla got involved in clubs to gain experience for internships. She joined Engineers Without Borders and the Society of Women Engineers because they emphasized professional development, and their missions to empower disadvantaged communities aligned with her values.
During an Engineers Without Borders project on the Navajo Nation, she had the chance to work in the field with a professional engineer.
“These organizations have been crucial in making me a better student and engineer,” says Micayla, adding that she also values the friendships and communities she found. She encourages students to try new things and take advantage of the hands-on opportunities at ASU.

ASU’s beautiful campus and extracurricular opportunities brought Ananay Arora to the Fulton Schools as a computer science major.
One of Arora’s favorite experiences at ASU has been his founding of the Google Developers Student Club. The club serves as an additional resource to teach software engineering skills to students.
“Software engineering is a constantly changing industry, and I felt that there is a lot more to be learned outside the classroom,” Arora says. “It took two years of determination and passion to create and grow the club to more than 600 members and through hands-on workshops every Friday, I accomplished my goal of sharing my knowledge with everyone.”
Arora also has completed two internships with Apple and worked as a researcher in both ASU’s Luminosity Lab — a student-led research and development group — and in the Laboratory of Security Engineering for Future Computing, known as SEFCOM.
“I’m grateful to have worked as a software engineer and learned from the best engineers in the industry,” Arora says. “Whatever I’ve learned, I’ve made it a personal goal to share it with the community while delivering the best learning experience.”
He has known that he wanted to pursue a career in computer science since he started coding at age 11, and he is a step closer to making that happen. After Arora earned his bachelor’s degree in May 2022, he has continued his education at ASU in the computer science accelerated master’s degree program and continues to be highly involved outside of the classroom.
Class of 2022
Hometown: Cananea, Sonora, Mexico
Paulette Iñiguez Erunez is not only the first in her family to pursue an education outside of her home country of Mexico, but the first to earn a bachelor’s degree.
She saw biomedical engineering as a way to follow her passions in medicine and engineering, and to serve people of lower incomes in rural areas. Paulette was also inspired by her grandfather, who was battling cancer as she finished high school.
“It has always been a great motivation to me and made me realize the importance of innovative technologies to treat such diseases,” she says.
Paulette started her higher education journey at Cochise College, a community college that was close to her family and provided financial support. She chose to transfer to ASU because of its continued scholarship opportunities and the Fulton Schools biomedical engineering program.
In college, Paulette has been highly involved in volunteer and student organization activities as well as research.
“I loved the decision of transferring to this awesome campus,” she says, adding that campus life and the people she has met have been the best parts of her ASU experience.
After graduating with her bachelor’s degree in May 2022, Paulette has stayed at ASU in the accelerated master’s degree program. She plans to pursue a career in clinical research.
Paulette encourages other transfer students to “use the transfer resources that ASU has to offer, such as MyPath2ASU, so you can keep track of your courses that will successfully transfer.”
