The institute is an educational and professional framework that fosters cross-sector partnerships and 跨学科合作. 为此目的,研训所:

  • Coordinates on-campus interdisciplinary events that challenge us to explore complicated problems with cross-disciplinary approaches. Organizes cross-sector cooperative agreements with public and private entities around the Austin, 德州, 区域及以外.
  • Exposes STEM majors to the postgraduate landscape by networking them with employers and graduate programs through guaranteed 实习s.
  • Funds faculty and 学生 professional development by offering awards to faculty and micro-credentialing tuition awards to 学生s.
  • 促进教师进步, 跨学科合作, and innovative research through the presentation of research opportunity awards.

在一起, these activities prepare 学生s for the 4th Industrial Revolution, which is a recently embarked era where biological, digital and physical systems coalesce to connect people, 对象和学科. 

The consensus among world leaders and prominent academics is that interdisciplinary education, industry-academia相声, 数据科学与信息学, and the development of adaptive STEM graduates who can innovate in a climate of change are pivotal for success in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
