Unconventional Engineer
At NYU Tandon, engineering isn’t about huddling over a desk — it’s about engaging with the world around us and the communities where we live.
We’re building the technologies necessary to strengthen our democracy, ensuring AI and other technologies are ethical, studying gun violence and its effects and plenty more. Because good engineers build things — like a better world.

What Does an Unconventional Engineer Look Like?
Great engineering can come from (and lead to) unexpected places.
Engineering Together
Great ideas don't just come from one mind — they're made when brilliant people come together to make the impossible possible.
Engineering for Equality
We're building an engineering community that is reflective of our city, our country, and our world.
