Info

General Quality • MIT is clear leader in engineering & EE � Leader in all engineering rankings � Leader in EE from 1882-present • Attracts “best and the brightest” • No strong competition � Harvard, Caltech abdicate role until 1990s � Stanford: more entrepreneurial, less science � State universities lack resources � Success of the polytechnic model
Graceful De-institutionalization? • MIT pulls back from coding theory � “Coding is dead” � Huge opportunity in computing & C.S. • Leaves a huge void that’s never filled � Bell Labs plays limited role until it dies � UCSD establishes Information Theory and Applications Center in 2006 w/Qualcomm $ • Is there a way to explicitly hand off role?
