Industry-Sponsored Student Projects
Bright minds build industry solutions.
Partner with Stevens faculty and students to bring fresh perspectives and innovative problem-solving to your greatest business and technology challenges.
Undergraduate Capstone Projects
Regardless of major, the Stevens undergraduate experience culminates with a design or research project where our engineering, science, and business students apply the knowledge they’ve accrued in the classroom to develop and demonstrate a practical solution to a real-world problem, often in collaboration with an industry partner.
The pinnacle of the experience is the annual Innovation Expo, where all projects are displayed for the general public and Stevens community.
As a sponsor, you’ll have the ability to define your own real-world problem or let our students identify a problem for you, and then mentor the student team throughout their senior year as they work toward developing a meaningful solution.
How Industry and Government Partners Champion Senior Design at Stevens
What Sponsors Are Saying
The students worked very well together, everyone had clear responsibilities and roles, and they were respectful of their team members’ work, opinions, and ideas. Their ability to work collaboratively together resulted in some creative solutions and out-of-the-box thinking to meet the project's design scope.
WSP
Students did an excellent job going outside of the box in terms of the profession of civil engineering. They investigated and studied topics that would not typically be considered by an engineer and introduced refreshing information and perspectives into the project.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
Our senior design CS students impressed us weekly - I feel like the students get better every year. It was a pleasure working with them and the faculty, and we are very happy with the resulting project.
Life Skills Software
The students researched and designed a handicap-accessible parking area, pedestrian bridge, and walking path. From the start, they were engaged and conscientious, designing alternatives and developing costs. Their reports and presentations were very informative and professional, and will help our town apply for and qualify for matching grants. They were enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with.
