Corporate Partnerships
CMU's Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department offers exciting opportunities for industry partners to connect with students.
Our corporate partnerships are designed to expose students to real-world projects while bringing visibility to your company. Unique to our program, industry collaborators establish a presence in ECE by matching with students interested in specific engineering technologies. As a corporate partner, you will have the opportunity to interact with both undergraduate and graduate-level students.
ECE Corporate Partners Program
ECE partners with industry through its Corporate Partners Program to strengthen the relationship between students, faculty, alumni, and employers. Companies can participate in the program as described below. Financial support for these initiatives can be provided by class sponsorship agreements or targeted gifts to ECE.
