Tech Convergence: Fostering Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Innovation
Day 2
Day 2 of the breakfast meeting was a resounding success. Dons drawn from the school of Computing and informatics and school of Engineering and Architecture. The gathering was a convergence of minds from different disciplines, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among experts in these fields. School of computing is the anchor that supports all the other schools in all technology related solutions. On the other hand, school of engineering and architecture should offer support in hardware fabrication. Together, the two schools stand at the point of infusing technology into every other industry.
