Our objective is to meet your needs and finding the right level of engagement for you. Here are a few ways that companies have elected to work with the College of Engineering in recent years.
A strategic partnership
Strategic partnerships reflect a commitment to engage in intensive and rich research collaborations providing targeted opportunities to explore and transform technology domains through rich faculty and student interactions. These partnerships can be established at the college level or with specific research centers, laboratories, or institutes.
The power of partnership: Join an affiliate program
Through our industrial affiliates program, companies across an industry or economic sector network together in a collaborative environment. For a modest cost, affiliate companies can see the future. Researchers and educators benefit from the insights and guidance from many companies at once, and everyone benefits from the exchange of ideas. To learn more, contact the appropriate affiliate program.
Faculty support
Individual collaborations can range from sponsored research on a defined problem statement to broader unrestricted support for a longer-range project. If you wish to work with a specific professor or a small group of researchers addressing a specific area of interest, contact the faculty member directly. To identify specific projects and researchers, review the Summary of Engineering Research.
Contact the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs to further explore any of these options.
