Northeastern University's College of Engineering (COE) is committed to providing a teaching, learning, and research environment that delivers the highest-quality education to its students. This mission emphasizes experiential and interdisciplinary programs designed to give students the technical knowledge prepared with the growth mindsets necessary for students to thrive in work and life.
COE fosters an inclusive environment that supports innovation, research, and experiential activities, aiming to promote professional development and lifelong learning. This commitment is further reflected in the college's emphasis on creating sustainable and resilient urban environments, particularly within the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
The university has also invested in state-of-the-art facilities like the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC), which serves as a hub for collaborative research and innovation. ISEC exemplifies the college's dedication to interdisciplinary collaboration and its strategic focus on global imperatives such as health, security, and sustainability.
Through these efforts, COE supports a community that inspires students in their pursuit of engineering education, preparing them to excel as lifelong learners who are poised to creatively solve problems and design solutions that benefit society.
Why We're In KEEN
KEEN's commitment to developing engineers with the technical skills needed to succeed, and with an emphasis on fostering curiosity, creating connections, and enabling them to create value through their work, aligns with Northeastern’s focus on real-world problem-solving and entrepreneurial thinking.
By partnering with KEEN, the College of Engineering can further enhance its efforts to cultivate graduates who think critically and creatively to solve complex problems and identify new opportunities. KEEN’s focus on cross-disciplinary collaboration supports Northeastern’s interdisciplinary approach, encouraging the integration of engineering with fields like business and computer science. Additionally, KEEN’s emphasis on hands-on learning and innovation complements Northeastern’s experiential education model, where students apply their technical knowledge and an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) to real-world challenges--indeed, because students participate in Northeastern's co-op program, they quickly realize the importance in developing entrepreneurial mindsets.
KEEN also provides valuable networking opportunities, which will allow Northeastern to share resources and best practices with peer institutions and benefit from their expertise.
