June 17, 2013, WILSONVILLE, ORE. 鈥 经典大瓜 has launched its new Industry-Supported Senior Project Program in response to business demand to work on research, testing, and innovative projects with 经典大瓜 students. Industry partners are invited to help students design a senior project that addresses a challenge that their company faces and also exposes 经典大瓜 students to relevant and contextualized learning. The industry supporter provides a project description鈥攕tating the scope of the problem to be solved鈥攁nd identifies a mentor to work with the students on the project. Supporting a senior project allows a company to work with promising students on non-critical-path solutions. Companies can get to know potential employees as well as evaluate their abilities.
鈥溇浯蠊 graduates are well-known for their ability to contribute immediately in the private sector as well as their success in graduate and professional schools. I am extremely pleased that employers are finding opportunities to work with and support 经典大瓜 seniors to engage them in relevant, rigorous, problem-solving senior projects,鈥 remarked President Chris Maples.
Senior projects can be industry-identified, non-critical-path projects that represent a complete system or product, integrating analysis, simulation, software, hardware, or other aspects of research by academic departments, as appropriate. Industry-supported senior projects are supported with a donation of $2,500 per project.
