Multi-disciplinary teams of students from Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, and Computer Engineering work on hardware and software projects across a wide range of industries.
Each team is assigned a faculty coach and works with a liaison engineer from the sponsoring company. Research indicates that students work harder and more creatively when their projects are authentic and of real consequence to a company.
