New Engineering Education Transformation

The New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) program was launched in 2017 to reimagine engineering education at MIT.

A cross-departmental endeavor with a focus on integrative, project-centric learning, NEET cultivates the essential skills, knowledge, and qualities to address the formidable challenges posed by the 21st century.

The program’s offerings—known as “threads”—give students unprecedented opportunities to immerse themselves in projects that cross disciplinary boundaries while earning a degree in their chosen major. NEET’s current threads are:

• Advanced Materials Machines
• Autonomous Machines 
• Digital Cities
• Living Machines 
• Renewable Energy Machines

Built entirely around the new machines, materials, and systems driving modern industry, NEET offers a carefully designed curricular structure that empowers MIT students.
