“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” – Albert Einstein

Established in 2007, USC Viterbi School's Division of Engineering Education  addresses various issues surrounding engineering education that impact all departments of the school. The organization is comprised of jointly-appointed, existing faculty, who focus a non-trivial part of their academic activities on engineering education at both the undergraduate and master's levels.

The division's main goals are to:

  • Implement a major curriculum reform in the school's undergraduate programs with the aim to better educate and prepare students for their future;
  • Address the needs of a large body of Master of Science students who use this as a terminal professional degree, by guiding and assisting them in taking advantage of the opportunities provided by the industry;
  • Obtain funding for the implementation fo school-wide programs in engineering education.


The Division of Engineering Education runs and/or endorses a series of special projects & programs, including Little Big Science, Viterbi Fab-Lab and much more.

The Division of Engineering Education represents a vibrant and passionate body of faculty that acts as a liaison between the school's independent departments, helping them implement innovative, school-wide initiatives to transform and enhance engineering education at USC.

For more information about the Division of Engineering Education's activities, please contact Division Chair and Senior Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives, Prof. Raghu Raghavendra, at raghu@usc.edu.
