A new course initiative
by Johnson, Vicki L. 02 Apr '18

02 Apr '18

A new course initiative aims to help students complement their technical depth with the “breadth at the edges” needed in today’s multidisciplinary environment. The courses will be taught by ECE faculty, but may be of interest to students in other departments as well. The first eight of these 1-credit courses will be offered to Purdue University students in Fall 2018. More information<https://nanohub.org/groups/needs/purdues_breadth_at_the_edges_initiative>.
