Hear directly from the companies and organizations that collaborate with UNC Charlotte’s Industrial Solutions Lab and Senior Design Program. Their feedback highlights the real‑world value of partnering with our students, from innovative solutions and hands‑on engagement to talent recruitment and meaningful project outcomes.

The Industrial Solutions Lab is supported by many industry partners, in particular, Lilly. A significant gift from Lilly in 2024 created an endowment that provides scholarships for students and funding that helps ensure the Lab’s future success.
The contribution from Lilly benefits Niner Engineers by expanding opportunities for experiential learning and demonstrates their commitment to developing new engineering talent and hands-on learning.
In 2023, the Industrial Solutions Lab moved from its long-time home in the Cafeteria and Activities Building to its current home in Cameron Building. In September 2024, the Lab held its Grand Opening and was announced as the “Industrial Solutions Lab, powered by Lilly.”
