Dean Peña-Mora Details Proposal for Columbia's New Engineering and Applied Sciences Campus

Columbia Engineering Dean Feniosky Peña-Mora describes the University's plans in response to New York City's request for a proposal to create a new engineering and applied sciences campus in the City. Columbia is proposing
an Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering that will fill the explosive need for the acquisition, synthesis, and analysis of vast amounts of data generated in five areas of an information-driven society: New Media, Smart Cities, Health Analytics, Cybersecurity, and Financial Analytics.

"We are ready to go," says Peña-Mora, as he discusses this proposed campus-within-a-campus in Manhattanville, a site that is currently under construction to build the University's new Jerome L. Greene Science Center.
