Industry Sponsored Student Projects
Our students represent the next generation of creative and technical minds, and our
faculty consists of world-class researchers. These resources provide an opportunity
to explore the relationship between science, engineering, technology and the humanities
and be at the forefront of learning, application, and impact. Student projects enable
one-of-kind creative collaborations that can inspire employees, transform projects
and unlock innovation. Additionally, sponsorships provide opportunities to give something
back through mentorship and financial support for one of the most diverse student
populations in the world.
The program is designed to enhance the educational experience by providing real-world
learnings that expand our students’ boundaries through exploration, research and engagement
with emerging trends in business, industry and technology. This program was introduced
to address situations when the industry partner wants to clarify issues relating to
1) intellectual property, 2) confidentiality, and/or 3) funding to support the project.
