Letter from the Director
Welcome to Princeton’s Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education. Since our founding in February 2005, the center continues to develop initiatives to fulfill its mission of preparing students —both those in engineering and those in other disciplines—to be leaders in a technological world.
Through Princeton’s own stellar faculty in the School of Engineering and Applied Science as well as the distinguished visiting professors it brings to campus, the center has expanded its offerings of broad interest and interdisciplinary undergraduate courses that bring engineering into the core of the liberal arts curriculum. We continue to support the development of new course material at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
To provide insights into the societal applications of engineering, the center offers opportunities for students to engage in research, community service, and professional internships locally and around the world. In these contexts, students learn valuable problem-solving and leadership skills.
Entrepreneurship presents another avenue for Princeton students’ creativity and desire to impact society in a meaningful way. In classes with known innovators, through competitions, with access to local business leaders, students discover models for their own careers.
