Areas of Impact
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship at Princeton, far more than starting profit-making companies, offers a powerful approach to education, service, leadership, and impact. The Keller Center offers a wide range of courses and programs in entrepreneurship and design thinking, while the Princeton Entrepreneurship Council provides coordination across the campus.
Primary affiliation
Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education
The Keller Center seeks to prepare all students – both engineers and non-engineers – to be leaders in an increasingly complex, technology-driven society. The center is creating new courses and strengthening existing ones that go beyond purely technical subjects to provide students a broader understanding of the global economic, environmental and cultural forces that shape and are shaped by technology. At the same time, the center is improving students' technical education by exposing them to real engineering projects throughout their four years, through internships, entrepreneurial opportunities, and multidisciplinary courses.
