eProjects
Problem solving demonstrated.
Challenges defined by industry partners are solved through the diligence of student teams working under the expertise of faculty members.
How it Works
Each eProject involves four to eight students who work together in an interdisciplinary team for either a semester or academic year, depending on the complexity of the project. The industry partner commits to funding the project for materials, equipment and other expenses incurred by the project. The project sponsor also provides a project liaison with whom the student team interacts to develop detailed project requirements, exchange information, negotiate changes and present interim and final results. In turn, the industry partner receives full access to all project outcomes and results. Intellectual property is retained by the industry partner.
Students present their eProjects at the bi-annual eProjects eForum and Innovation Showcase.
