Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The CEO of the world’s leading accrediting body for engineering education and the North Carolina secretary of commerce highlighted a day of presentations and discovery on Oct. 30, 2026, when the university officially debuted its new School of Engineering and Computing.

An alumnus from the first cohort of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s game design minor returned to campus to share his experiences in VFX and technical art, offering industry perspectives and career advice to current Â鶹ÊÓƵ students.

As the 2026-27 academic year begins, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is opening a new school, launching innovative new programs and constructing new facilities for the campus community.

Computer science and game design major Saffie Hollingsworth ’27 presented an international collaborative research project, "Beyond the Books," at the International Consortium for Educational Developers' 2026 conference in Spain, engaging 15 faculty from universities worldwide in gameplay and discussion.

More than a dozen middle school students participated in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s inaugural week-long day camp that explored the fundamentals of artificial intelligence.

The most recent issue of an annual online publication highlights the way Â鶹ÊÓƵ's faculty and staff nurtured student growth in calendar year 2025 through a campus culture that supports innovation.

The new camp teaches middle schoolers about artificial intelligence through hands-on activities.

Students in the Game Design minor developed three games and published them on Steam.

The president emeritus of Milwaukee School of Engineering in Wisconsin brings to North Carolina his decades of leadership experience in engineering education, innovation, fundraising and student success. 

The brothers, a current Â鶹ÊÓƵ student and alumnus, were featured in a profile for The Assembly.
