What It's Like to Be in The Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program

It is in MIT’s rich, innovative, and inventive tradition of engineering leadership that the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program (ELP) operates. Housed in MIT’s School of Engineering, this unique engineering leadership program provides an integrated set of leadership-oriented, hands-on engineering activities, set in the context of the practice of engineering, designed to develop outstanding future leaders in the world of engineering practice. Launched through a $20 million gift (with a matching requirement) by the Gordon Foundation — the largest gift made to MIT's School of Engineering for curriculum development — the Program aims to ensure MIT continues to lead the nation in graduating effective engineering leaders and, beyond the Institute, to create new approaches that prepare the nation's young engineering leaders for productive and effective careers in engineering companies. To develop the potential leaders of engineering innovation, invention, and implementation, the program works both with students enrolled at MIT and beyond the Institute with industry.
