The University of Indianapolis has selected an electrical and computer engineering expert to lead its new engineering programs. Jose Sanchez will serve as director for UIndy’s software engineering and industrial & systems engineering degree programs.

Sanchez most recently served as associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Bradley University in Illinois. He will begin in his new role as director and associate professor of engineering at UIndy on May 16.

"The needs of engineering have changed over the last few decades," said Sanchez. "Most problems that society faces today require complex multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary solutions. My goal is to collaborate with the industry to create real-world problems for our students to solve. UIndy’s strong core, along with the emphasis on communication, problem-solving, design, testing and teamwork, will uniquely position our engineering students as strong contributors to society."

UIndy says it is one of few Indiana institutions to offer these new engineering programs. You can click here to find more info about the programs.
