... "Curricular models range from mentored senior projects in sustainable design to a university-wide seminar in the Institute of Global Leadership." Cross-school programs highlighting specific topics (e.g., water; or systems, science, and society) encourage interdisciplinary collaborations in graduate engineering education.
