Exploration through Technology

Engineers for Exploration (E4E) is a one of a kind program centered around multidisciplinary and collaborative student research projects with the broad goals of protecting the environment, uncovering mysteries related to cultural heritage, and providing experiential learning experiences for undergraduate and graduate students. We team student engineers with scientists from a wide range of disciplines, such as ecology, oceanography and archaeology. Students create new technologies to aid these scientists in their work and then accompany them on field deployments around the world. Projects train students in embedded systems and software, machine learning, electronic integration, mechanical design, system building, as well as project management and team leadership.
