About
At MIT CEE, we bring together exceptional people from all walks of life — united by a shared belief that engineering can be a force for good in the world. Our community is defined by intellectual courage, a spirit of collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to belonging, achievement, composition, and innovation.
This page summarizes the actions we are taking as a department to foster a community where all community members feel welcome, are valued for their differences, and where all people have the opportunity to thrive.
