Research at the Boston University College of Engineering creates solutions that will impact people’s lives, from medicine and vaccines to robots and artificial intelligence.
This research requires converging the knowledge and viewpoints of diverse people from multiple disciplines. We have created a strategy that seeks to capitalize on, and accelerate, this transformative approach to engineering innovation and education.
As Dean Elise Morgan writes, the partnership between universities and the federal government has produced dramatic improvements in our health, safety, and quality of life. Disrupting this compact will threaten America’s economy and standing in the world.
Pioneering research and community accomplishments.
