The Noorda Interdisciplinary Center (NIC) for Engineering, Science & Society, created with the generous donations from the Noorda Foundation,  and an element of the original agreement with that foundation, endeavours to find collaborations between various disciplines in science, engineering, technology, humanities, and social sciences; to allow for creating interdisciplinary programs; to engage in projects with the community examining social impacts and creating positive changes through engineering and science; to expose students to the social contexts within which they work and create; and to reignite passion and exploration with the larger community for an enlightened understanding of techo-scientific issues. The NIC is oriented towards outreach and teaching about and solving engineering grand challenges, that could correspond to Noorda Foundation goals like energy efficiency, generation, and storage, among others, that putting engineering into important social, historical, and economic contexts, including, for examples, the need to welcomesustainability, under-represented populations into engineering, promoting democracy, and cybersecurity.
