Engineering for Data-Enabled & Networked Society
The expansive interest in data and network sciences, and the questions of computational complexity, security, and privacy, is deeply impacting engineering sciences and design. Our School is contributing to advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence and to the development of smart design tools that enable engineers to explore the design space more fully, for example, to discover new materials, to design intelligent systems, advance robotic technologies, and promote smart manufacturing.
