Senior Design Sponsorship
Bring Real-World Engineering Problems and Experience to UCCS Students
Engineering undergraduate students go through a capstone experience prior to graduation. External project sponsors (clients) bring real problems to the degree programs and students are formed into teams to address the clients’ problems over one to two semesters, depending on the degree program. Senior design projects aid in student transition from engineering student to practicing engineer.
Students are responsible for project planning and management, interacting with their project sponsor client, working as a team, learning about their problem’s domain, utilizing an engineering design process, understanding and effectively using all types of communication practices, and creating final client deliverables, in addition to fulfilling requirements of the senior design course.
Benefits of project sponsorship:
A dedicated and energetic team of 3-5 students working for 1-2 semesters to address a problem for your organization
A fresh set of eyes on your problem, perhaps shedding a different light on the issues surrounding it
A thorough test-run for the 3-5 students on your team as potential new hires in your organization
Exposure to the entirety of graduating engineering students for recruitment purposes
The knowledge that you are helping to educate the next generation of engineering professionals
