Abstract

Starting a new engineering program at a university is no simple task. But that's just what Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass., is doing. By 2026, the university will offer an undergraduate engineering degree-but without creating an engineering department. Instead, Brandeis aims to lean on its strong liberal arts tradition, in hope of offering something dif-ferent from the more than 3,500 other engineering programs in the United States accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technol-ogy (ABET). IEEE Spectrum spoke with Seth Fraden, one of the new program's interim cochairs, about getting a new engineering program up and running.

5 个问题问 Seth Fraden：如何启动新的工程学项目

在大学里开设一个新的工程学专业并不是一件简单的事情。但这正是位于马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆的布兰迪斯大学正在做的事情。到 2026 年，该校将开设工程学本科学位，但不设立工程系。取而代之的是，布兰迪斯大学希望依托其强大的文科传统，提供与美国工程技术认证委员会（ABET）认证的 3500 多个其他工程专业不同的课程。IEEE Spectrum 采访了新项目的临时主席之一塞斯-弗拉登（Seth Fraden），了解新工程项目的启动和运行情况。
