The New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) co-curricular program at MIT is a cross-departmental initiative that emphasizes integrative, project-centric learning, fostering the development of vital skills, knowledge, and qualities necessary to tackle the significant challenges of the 21st century. Living Machines (LM) is one of four interdisciplinary threads: Autonomous Machines, Climate & Sustainability Systems, Digital Cities, as well as Living Machines. LM represents one of the integral threads in NEET that allows the students to apply engineering principles and concepts to challenges in the Life and Medical Sciences, through innovative biotechnological approaches. Within Living Machines, students engage in diverse projects spanning synthetic biology, immuno-engineering, tissue engineering, microfluidics, and computational biology and other emerging research domains in biological engineering and biotechnology. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the Living Machines program, including its structure, objectives, and interdisciplinary approach to biotechnological innovation.
