Have an Idea for a Senior Design Project?

2026 Senior Design Project Document

We are currently soliciting commitments from companies interested in participating in the program for the Fall 2026 semester. Each company supporting a project is requested to complete the  Fall 2026 – Senior Design Project Input document.

Each student must also sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement so there are no industry secrets divulged in the student reports. If you have any questions concerning Non-Disclosure or Intellectual Property, we are very flexible and willing to work with you.
