YOU CAN HELP WATSON SHAPE THE FUTURE
I
n less than four decades, the world has transformed at a lightning pace. So has the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science. Since its founding in 1983, Watson has rapidly grown into a hub of innovation, helping to power Binghamton University’s rise through academic rankings. Amid this tremendous progress, a challenge remains: How to keep up with the constant expansion of knowledge and the data that drives this breakneck pace? Watson needs — today more than ever — to shape engineers, computer scientists and applied scientists who can develop solutions and take leadership roles in the grand challenges facing the world.
