Engineering companies can meet and interact with top students—and be in
a strong position to recruit them for opportunities within their
organization—by becoming a college partner.
This can be done in a variety of ways, from funding a student
scholarship to sponsoring and mentoring students in a design or research
project.
Scholarships & Fellowships
Full or partial annual scholarships can make the difference in talented
undergraduates choosing to attend CU.
Corporate-sponsored graduate fellowships also can attract the best and
brightest talent to CU-Boulder. Our corporate relations staff can help
you establish a mutually beneficial partnership for your company and our
students.
Student Project Sponsorship
The college’s emphasis on active, hands-on learning, with
capstone design projects required in every major, provides many
opportunities for companies to meet and mentor students in projects
related to their field.
ITL Fall and Spring Design Expos
Volunteers from engineering industry serve as judges
at this semi-annual event, where more than 300 students each
semester present their engineering projects to the community.
Company representatives can get a first-hand look at the quality of CU
engineering students while helping to judge projects on their
originality, craftsmanship, understanding of engineering principles,
effectiveness and presentation.
Gifts of Equipment or
Technology (Gifts-in-Kind)
The college is a great place to showcase equipment and technology
to future engineers. Gifts to departments and programs enhance the
quality of education we deliver and the students who enter the
workforce. Let us hear your goals and interests.
Endowments Make
a Lasting Impact
Companies can create a lasting impact on student learning by
creating an endowment for a program or faculty position within it.
Examples include the Lockheed Martin Engineering Management Program,
which was established through a partnership between the company and
university to provide education in engineering management to working
professionals. Endowing a faculty position also can help to ensure the
continued strength of a program that is vital to industry interests.
Systems Biotechnology Building
CU-Boulder is planning a new biotechnology building for opening
in 2011. The building will house more than 60 faculty working in
engineering and the life sciences, along with more than 500 students and
other researchers in a state-of-the-art facility on CU’s East Campus. Please contact us about opportunities for corporate involvement.
Aerospace &
Energy Systems Building
Fundraising is also underway for the Aerospace & Energy Systems
Building, planned to be built as part of the Engineering Center Complex
at Colorado Avenue and Regent Drive. We invite you to join us as a
partner in providing the critically needed space to for programs that
are hallmarks of the Boulder campus and vital to the future of Colorado
and the nation.
Matching Employee Gifts
Corporate matching programs maximize the power of employee gifts to
the college by doubling their impact.
