A new Navy Yard program shows Brooklyn’s tech bubble is as strong as ever
… Downtown Brooklyn’s NYU Tandon School of Engineering, for example, has recently raised its profile in tech education — expanding its programs in the fields of cybersecurity, wireless communications, and other areas — while luring new students from far away as Florida, Texas and California after a long history as a commuter school. Kurt H. Becker, Tandon’s vice dean for research, innovation, and entrepreneurship, said programs like the Antler/New Lab generator “really drive the innovation economy in Brooklyn.” He noted its similarities to Tandon’s Future Labs program, founded a decade ago as the first university-affiliated incubator in New York City.
