Our seniors work closely with industry sponsors on projects relevant to the real-world challenges that business faces. They regularly meet with a company\u2019s liaison to determine a sponsor\u2019s needs, develop a project objective statement, create design concepts and select one to design to fully implement. The students then create a prototype and submit a written report to their sponsor company.<\/p>\n<p>The budget, usually between $7,000 and $10,000, is used to fund hardware, supplies and equipment expenses for construction and testing of prototypes.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsors generally provide a project idea that isn\u2019t an urgent need for the company. That assignment reflects a separate and distinct activity, system or process within the business. They also provide a liaison engineer or technical representative who oversees the work of the team.<\/p>\n<p>Past sponsors have included General Electric, Pfizer, Pratt &amp; Whitney and TRUMPF.<\/p>\n<p>Visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/seniordesign.engr.uconn.edu\/\">Senior Design Website<\/a> to learn more, fill out <a href=\"http:\/\/seniordesign.engr.uconn.edu\/submit-senior-design-project\/\">this form<\/a> to sponsor a project or send any <a href=\"mailto:engr-seniordesign@uconn.edu\">questions to this email address.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UConn Engineering is looking for industry partners to sponsor Senior Design Projects for the coming school year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":221951,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1866],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[2110],"class_list":["post-203810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-engr"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-25 11:31:38","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203810"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221955,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203810\/revisions\/221955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/221951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203810"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=203810"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=203810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
