Engage With and Support Our Students
Provide and Sponsor Student Projects
Work with our next-generation engineers to innovate solutions to your business challenges while building your brand awareness with potential future hires. Under the guidance of a faculty member, students will engage with your company, develop a creative solution, and present it to you. Suggested contributions to help cover course expenses range from $5K-$20K.
Projects and case studies are sought for:
- Undergraduate capstones (individual or small groups of students) in areas like mechanical, biomedical, and industrial engineering
- Master’s level student teams ready to tackle more intensive projects across a variety of programs. Popular project areas include artificial intelligence, operations, analytics, sustainability, and business process improvement.
- Experiential courses at all levels, including courses offered by our Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation
