Offer customizable opportunities for regional and/or underserved Sears, Nicholas, Instructional Assistant Professor populations, Multidisciplinary Engineering 4. Enable means for students to have unique interdisciplinary/ PHD, Texas A&M University, 2017 multidisciplinary educational experiences, which may include non- engineering disciplines, Shaw, Surupa, Assistant Professor 5. Support access for students to develop knowledge and skills in Multidisciplinary Engineering emerging and even not-yet-existing fields, and PHD, University of New Hampshire, 2015 6. Prepare leaders and engineers who exhibit a dedication to life- long learning, professional and ethical behaviors, sensitivity to Shukla, Keshawa, Professor of the Practice global and cultural awareness and impact, and being agents of Multidisciplinary Engineering positive change. PHD, Banaras Hindu University, 1979

In addition to activities at the College Station campus, the department Vishnubhakat, Saurabh, Professor maintains strong presences at the Galveston and McAllen campuses Multidisciplinary Engineering and through distance education worldwide. The department in an active JD, University of New Hampshire School of Law, 2010 innovator in engineering education through the creation and delivery of LLM, University of New Hampshire School of Law, 2010 programs as well as granting students the ability to create new fields of study through the interdisciplinary engineering degree programs.
