Sponsor a Capstone Design Project

Sponsoring a major student project provides an excellent way to:

• get involved with the McCormick School of Engineering
• connect with the next generation of leaders in innovation, engineering, and design thinking
• develop solutions to challenges faced by your company or industry

Many McCormick departments are interested in utilizing problems from industry for their capstone projects.

Upper-class student teams, under the guidance of a faculty member, will engage with your company, develop a creative solution, and present it to you.
