Engineering & Culture
Fusing engineering and creativity to build human-centered experiences
Engineering and culture are not separate domains, but two sides of the same coin. We are cultivating a new generation of technologists who bring together left brain and right brain thinking to solve complex problems and create human-centered experiences. Our research and programs blend technical rigor with creativity to design solutions and environments that preserve knowledge, convey knowledge, open minds, and inspire joy.
