PALO ALTO, Calif.—New York City officials have invited Stanford University to submit a proposal for creating a stand-alone engineering school as a way to bring technology companies and jobs to the city.
The San Jose Mercury News reported Friday that Stanford is one of 19 academic institutions that have expressed interest in helping the city launch a graduate school in applied science and engineering.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell and Purdue are the other top U.S. contenders. The city has four possible locations in mind, two in Manhattan, one in Staten Island and one in Brooklyn.
Stanford President John Hennessy said Thursday that Stanford's proposal would initially consist of two departments, one for computer science and another for electrical engineering.
The program would accommodate 125 students seeking doctorates and at least 250 working toward master's degrees.
