PARTNER WITH US
Partner with our Senior Design community by sponsoring a capstone project with our students, faculty and staff. Sponsorship allows companies to present real-world projects and problems for student teams to solve; while providing a unique opportunity for partners to engage with the next generation of engineering talent, and even identify potential future hires. You will be paired with a diverse group of four to six talented and dedicated students, who, alongside their advisor(s), will tackle challenging projects and solve real problems. These partnerships foster connections between academia and industry, while building a meaningful relationship with Tennessee Tech and the College of Engineering, and increasing brand visibility on campus.
