How to Boot Up a New Engineering Program

MBZUAI ·

Brandeis University in Massachusetts is launching a new Engineering program, with student enrollment slated for Fall 2026 while engineering courses are already available to non-majors. The program aims to develop engineers with a liberal arts background, translate basic science research into practical technologies, and foster cross-disciplinary innovation. Engineering faculty will be embedded within existing science departments and will teach in a new ABET-certified undergraduate Engineering Science major. Why it matters: This interdisciplinary approach to engineering education could serve as a model for integrating technical skills with broader societal considerations, though the article does not mention any collaboration or impact in the Middle East.
