Founding partners
Learn more about our three founding partners: Arizona State University, King’s College London and UNSW Sydney.
TEDI-London is the brainchild of three leading names in engineering education. Arizona State University, King’s College London and UNSW Sydney were already working together to tackle global problems as part of the PLuS Alliance when they saw need for more diverse, creative-thinking engineering students. TEDI-London was the answer.
