Project Summary
The New Engineering Building (NEB) is poised to be a landmark building for the Western campus. NEB will house the rapidly expanding engineering faculty that is expecting an additional 880 undergraduate students, 100 graduate students, 24 faculty, and 5 staff.
The proposed growth, while driven by a new degree program, will combine education in artificial intelligence with most of the existing undergraduate programs offered by the Faculty. Half of the new incremental faculty positions will be in the area of greatest need, software engineering, and will provide an opportunity to target additional positions to areas of most impactful research opportunity.
