Speed School of Engineering truly values the relationships forged with our corporate partners. Their essential contributions to the academic life and development of the students, and the school’s mission to provide a world class educational experience are unparalleled.
Each year one of our respected partners is honored with the Outstanding Corporate Partner Award. These companies demonstrate the best of the collaborative spirit by supporting the educational and research visions of the school. This takes the form of student scholarships, co-ops and employment opportunities as well as the provision of educational materials, classroom or lab upgrades and access to equipment, expertise or tours. As investors in the advancement of engineering, other partners choose to be allies in research labs, grants or centers and collaborate with us to continue to keep Speed School on the cutting edge.
