Help us with innovative student projects and become an sponsor.

For the first time, the School of Technology at CCSU is initiating an innovative design project in which students are asked to take up a challenging problem and design a practical solution. In order to make this experience successful and getting more students involved we need your support and sponsorship!

There are several benefits to industry in sponsoring student projects and getting involved with universities. Among these benefits is  a "fresh" and an innovative look at a contemporary engineering problem. “Student projects might introduce the company to a "first look" at some emerging technique involving computer software or other fast-developing technologies. Often, a "back burner" type project, one that does not have a urgent solution time deadline, can be solved at little expense to the company. A company can get a project "off the ground" with an initial study performed by the students. The initial study then might generate a genuine internal company interest for the project to continue. Finally, recruiting new engineering employees is facilitated by working with the senior team of students on a company problem and with company personnel."
