Sponsor a Capstone Project

Sponsoring a University of Idaho College of Engineering Senior Capstone Design Project is an opportunity for industry sponsors to interact with undergraduate students, graduate teaching assistants and engineering faculty with expertise in your field.

All U of I engineering students participate in hands-on education. By sponsoring a Senior Capstone Design Project, you will observe potential student hires that could help meet future recruitment needs and introduce students to best practices in the industry for design and manufacturing.

Role of the Client or Corporate Sponsor

  • Supply an engineering project for students to design, prototype and test in about eight months
  • Participate in two formal design reviews and the final project presentation
  • Provide a financial donation to support the project
  • Deliver constructive feedback to the students
  • Offer feedback to the faculty for continuous course improvement

Project Budgeting

  • Projects need to be identified, scoped, and budgeted by Aug. 1 in collaboration with the respective department lead
  • Typical projects include funding for:
    • Materials and consumables required to execute the project
    • Travel required for students to visit the sponsor/client
    • Support for the graduate student teaching assistants
    • Shop and lab equipment usage and maintenance
