Established in 1847, Brown's engineering program is the oldest in the Ivy League and the third oldest civilian engineering program in the country.{{Efn|The program was preceded by that of the [[Rensselaer Institute]] (1824) and [[Union College]] (1845) |name= |group= }} In 1916, Brown's departments of electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering were merged into a single Division of Engineering. In 2010 the division was elevated to a School of Engineering.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ember |first=Sydney |date=2010-07-26 |title=Corporation approves engineering school at May meeting |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/2010/07/26/corporation-approves-engineering-school-at-may-meeting/ |access-date=2021-04-01 |website=Brown Daily Herald |language=en-US |archive-date=August 1, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220801041022/https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2010/07/corporation-approves-engineering-school-at-may-meeting/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

Engineering at Brown is especially interdisciplinary. The school is organized without the traditional departments or boundaries found at most schools and follows a model of connectivity between disciplines—including biology, medicine, physics, chemistry, computer science, the humanities, and the social sciences. The school practices an innovative clustering of faculties in which engineers team with non-engineers to bring a convergence of ideas.

Student teams have launched two [[CubeSat]]s with the support of the School of Engineering. Brown Space Engineering developed [[EQUiSat]] a 1U satellite, and another interdisciplinary team developed [[SBUDNIC]] a 3U satellite.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Schornstein |first1=Benjamin |title=Student-built satellite returns after two and a half years in space |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2021/03/student-built-satellite-returns-after-two-and-a-half-years-in-space |work=The Brown Daily Herald |access-date=August 5, 2022 |archive-date=August 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220805114714/https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2021/03/student-built-satellite-returns-after-two-and-a-half-years-in-space |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Sandlow |first1=Haley |title=Student-led team delays launch of satellite to June 2022 |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2022/03/student-led-team-delays-launch-of-satellite-to-june-2022 |access-date=5 August 2022 |work=The Brown Daily Herald |archive-date=August 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220805114949/https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2022/03/student-led-team-delays-launch-of-satellite-to-june-2022 |url-status=live }}</ref>
