GLASS
In the Global Leaders & Scholars in STEM (GLASS) program at Tandon Honors, students engage in diverse experiences, research, and exploration aligned with Tandon's Areas of Research Excellence. Their projects are designed to integrate with the NAE Grand Challenges and consider the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals. Over the course of three years in the GLASS Program, students gain a profound comprehension of their potential impact in creating positive global change. Emerging as socially responsible innovators and engineers, GLASS students are well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to the world.
UN Sustainable Goals
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a global blueprint for addressing critical social, economic, and environmental challenges. Established in 2015, the 17 SDGs aim to create a more sustainable and equitable world by 2030. These goals are particularly important for individuals, organizations, and initiatives—such as the GLASS Scholars Program—that seek to make a meaningful impact through innovation, leadership, and professional growth.​
Areas of Excellence
The school's focus on interdisciplinary innovation across Cybersecurity, AI/Robotics, and Wireless Technologies, integrating broader themes like Sustainability, Health, Emerging Media, and Urban Systems. It emphasizes societal impact, addressing real-world challenges in smart cities, green tech, and digital security.
