Mumbai: NMIMS Deemed-to-be University’s School of Engineering has joined with Binghamton University, State University of New York to redefine engineering education. The MoU between the two institutions will encompass NMIMS’s Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management & Engineering (MPSTME), Mumbai & Shirpur, and the School of Technology Management & Engineering (STME) at Indore, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, and Navi Mumbai campuses.The importance of a multicultural experience and the development of soft skills cannot be overstated in today's competitive job market.  The NMIMS-Binghamton University collaboration recognizes this need and is designed to promote these critical skills, ensuring that students emerge not only as accomplished engineers but also as well-rounded individuals prepared for the challenges of the global workforce.The most exciting aspect of this partnership is the introduction of the collaborative 3.5+1.5 degree program, which signifies the start of a new era in academic and research collaboration between Binghamton University and NMIMS.
