Senior Project Guidelines

Implementing Industry Supported Projects provides information on the implementation of a Senior Design Project. It also includes the expectations of the industry supporter during the project as well as the expectations of the students and the project faculty mentor.

Have an idea for a Senior Design project?

We are currently soliciting commitments from companies interested in participating in the program for the Spring 2025 semester. Each company supporting a project is requested to complete the Spring 2025 – Senior Design Project Input document.

Each student must also sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement so there are no industry secrets divulged in the student reports. If you have any questions concerning Non-Disclosure or Intellectual Property, we are very flexible and willing to work with you.
