Talk on Cornell Tech

On Wednesday I attended a very interesting talk by Professor Shwartz on Cornell Tech, a new Cornell campus located in NYC that is dedicated from technology related graduate studies. From his talk, it appears to me that Cornell tech has an even stronger emphasis on project-based learning and hands on experience than traditional engineering and science objects studies. On one of the photos he shows us, it is interesting to see the vast open space in the classroom that deliberately maximizes communication and team work. Also, the new innovative campus also offer a techMBA program and emphasizes studying of business side of tech products. Generally, everything about this program is strikingly new and different. I think it would be even more interesting when the campus on Roosevelt Island is open and there would be more potential collaboration between Cornell Tech and Weill Medical College.

  1. I agree- I like how Cornell Tech emphasizes collaboration and an interdisciplinary outlook for technology. Technology is becoming ever more important in our lives, and improving the human-technology connection is vital. I am excited to see what Cornell Tech has in store for the future!
