Milwaukee School of Engineering has initiated a $125 million fundraising campaign, with $80 million already secured, to develop a new engineering center dedicated to artificial intelligence. The Robert D. Kern Engineering Innovation Center will span 97,000 square feet and include a Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence Education, along with various engineering departments. This initiative aims to position MSOE as a national leader in applied AI education, preparing students for the increasing influence of AI across multiple sectors.
The new center will also support the establishment of the Dwight and Dian Diercks School of Advanced Computing, which will integrate AI into diverse degree programs, including nursing and marketing. The campaign honors Robert D. Kern, founder of Generac Power Systems, highlighting the importance of philanthropy in advancing educational innovation. With construction set to begin soon, this project represents a significant step forward in enhancing the university's capabilities in AI and robotics.
