A team of researchers headed by Electrical and Computer Engineering Prof. Kavitha Chandra is developing interdisciplinary programs that target graduate education and future workforce training in using digital technologies for automotive and manufacturing industries. The initiatives are supported by two grants totaling nearly $463,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
“Future work in science and engineering fields demands that learners acquire not only strong disciplinary knowledge, but also design skills and systems-thinking skills that can be adapted and applied to solving emerging, complex problems in society,” says Chandra, who is the associate dean for undergraduate programs at the Francis College of Engineering.
“At the same time, this need also opens opportunities for women and students of color, traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering, to explore a broader range of research and career pathways that better identify with their interests and values,” she says.
