Education

Advanced education and training, tailored to your needs.

The Innovation Campus designs and conducts education and customized training programs for companies, the U.S. armed forces and federal agencies, and other organizations eager to maintain a competitive edge. 

Individuals and teams come to Burlington for advanced education, whether at the master’s degree level or through seminars and workshops. We also offer non-degree executive education related to our core research areas, such as defense and cybersecurity. 

Specialty education programs can be tailored to your unique requirements. Northeastern faculty members with security clearance provide expertise in intelligence gathering, whether open-source, covert, geospatial, measurement and signature, or technical. 

KRI and the Innovation Campus have offered workshops focused on additive manufacturing, for example. Experiential workshops have included Vigilant Guard 2018, the National Guard’s premier readiness exercise. 

Innovation Campus, MIT host
National Guard Tactical Leaders Seminar 

In September of 2018, KRI, in conjunction with the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, hosted a training designed to bring National Guard service members and their interagency partners in the emergency management and homeland security fields together. On the Innovation Campus at Burlington and at MIT, Guard members and federal-level emergency response managers from across the U.S. spent three days touring facilities and hearing talks on new and emerging technologies and techniques in the homeland protection, emergency management, space, cyber, and innovation domains. 

More than 100 participants came from 35 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

According to National Guard Bureau Homeland Security Institute officials, the program had two goals: To showcase available assets, such as LiDAR, which uses radio waves to create detailed 3D maps of disaster zones; and to highlight technologies in development, such as drone-detection systems.     

The program also addressed a pressing need, HSI leaders said, to get National Guard members working side-by-side with heads of other organizations engaged in emergency management and disaster response. More than 100 participants came from 35 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
