Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsor a booth to meet our students and your prospective employees at our engineering and computer science-related career fairs in the spring and fall. Businesses may also include a social media package with their sponsorship or sponsor the LinkedIn Photo Booth. See our Career Services page or contact Juli Pickering for more details.

Provide an internship (typically part-time during the academic year and full-time during the summer) or a co-op (typically a commitment of at least three terms that include academic credit). See our Career Services page or contact Juli Pickering for more information.

Sponsor our college’s back-to-school celebration in the fall for all students, staff, and faculty. Contact Lisa McGovern for more details.

Industry sponsors pay a fee to cover expenses and provide engineering personnel for the Product Realization Course, a regular course offering to mentor a student project team. The multidisciplinary approach has real benefit. The course is co-taught by an engineering professor and an art professor. Students form interdisciplinary teams of engineers, artists and designers then review the company’s product brief, determine a budget and timeline, then design and build the prototype.

Financial support for individual students provides opportunity for the next generation of engineers and computer scientists. Contact Todd Johnson for more details.

All undergraduates complete a senior design project in their senior year where they work as a team to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to address a real-world need. If you have a challenge for our students, we would like to talk to you about incorporating it into their assignment.

Experiential learning outside of the classroom is critical to our student’s success. Providing resources to one of our many engineering and computer science related student organizations allows them to better achieve their goals. Contact Steven Anderson for more details.

Every spring our undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students showcase their research through presentations to judges from industry in the Research Poster Competition & Three Minute Thesis. Contact Mark Meier for more information.

Support specific faculty research, or a graduate researcher. Contact Jean Opitz for more details.
