It has been a key center of research in the development of microwave, wireless, radar, electronics in general, polymers, industrial engineering and operations research and the US space program. The school continues to grow, academically and physically. Its incoming classes typically consist of some 700 students, with a total academic population of over 5,000. Following the merger of NYU and Polytechnic Institute, applications rose 103% and the average first year admitted student SAT score rose 145 points. In 2017, New York University announced that it would continue to invest in its burgeoning engineering school, committing over $500 million in the coming years to Tandon's rising momentum.
