Engineering Community Engagement Events

The Engineering Division, partnering with the Office of Global Engagement and Access, is committed to educating future engineers. Our core mission is to show the community how engineering and civic engagement are fundamentally tied in both daily life and professional practice. To achieve this, we have established the Engineering Community Engagement Seminar Series. These virtual seminars will be attended by students, researchers, staff, and faculty from the Engineering division and the entire diverse NYU Abu Dhabi family.
