Calvin University opening School of Engineering and Computer Science
Calvin University is asking a big question as it launches a new School of Engineering and Computer Science: what if the engineers building the future of AI, robots, and advanced technology were trained to ask not just, "What can we build?" but "Should we build it, and who will it serve?"
The new school pairs engineering and computer science training with the liberal arts and Christian faith, aiming to graduate engineers who can also think through the ethics of what they build.
For more on the new school, head to calvin.edu.
