Senior Design Center Projects
Senior Design Center team members meet with mentor, and computer science alumnus xxx, to discuss their Taave Software project.
For
over 10 years, the Senior Design Center has been bringing together
student teams with corporate sponsors to work on real-world projects.
This collaborative relationship has yielded meaningful results, for
both students and sponsors. Students report on their projects at the
semester-end Posters & Pies celebration.
Students have consistently rated their Senior Design Projects course as a high point in their academec career because of the valuable hands-on experience it provides. This includes giving students the opportunity to develop valuable project management, teaming and communication skills, essential in today's highly interactive workplace.
Each semester, corporations from across the nation provide real-world learning experiences for our students. You simply provide a problem statement and a mentor to work with the team, and we will provide talened students suited to the needs of your project. Under the direction of the Senior Design Center staff, our student teams follow a software development methodology, develop project documentation, and present progress reviews. This unique academic and experiential focus gives students the opportunity to enhance their communication, collaboration, project management and leadership skills. This creates a true "win-win" situation for both our sponsors and our students.
Senior Design Center projects require a $5,000 unrestricted tax-deductible contribution, and are available individually or as one of the collaborative opportunities offered through our ePartners Program.
Sponsors are sought through August 15 for the coming autumn academic semester, and through December 15 for the coming spring semester. Opportunities occasionally exist for sponsoring a summer session project.
