Massachusetts Tech Leaders Visit BU
Tech leaders from across the commonwealth had an opportunity to hear from Boston University students who are building a better wheelchair, a medication delivery robot, a drone system for wildlife conservation, and more when the Massachusetts STEM Advisory Council met earlier this month at Boston University. “Innovation happens because of this ecosystem,” said Massachusetts Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, cochair of the council, in opening remarks at BU’s Robotics & Autonomous Systems Teaching and Innovation Center (RASTIC). “And the great thing about the innovation economy is that you all collaborate way more than you compete,” Driscoll added, addressing an assemblage of technology executives, government officials, educators, and students from BU and other area colleges.

BU ENG Program Allows Students from Different Backgrounds to LEAP into Engineering
ENG’s Late Entry Accelerated Program (LEAP) is a unique program that allows students with non-engineering backgrounds to earn master’s degrees in engineering. Instead of requiring them to earn a second bachelor’s degree, LEAP provides a customized, streamlined set of undergrad coursework that prepares them to advance into any of ENG’s nine master’s programs. During their first year, LEAP students can take a free two-week intersession program called LEAP LIFE, an acronym combining LEAP and the phrase “Leap Into the Future of Engineering.” Students literally get their hands dirty (or their fingers sticky with the rosin flux used in soldering circuit boards), gaining technical skills they’ll need to land internships, and ultimately, careers in engineering.
