Enterprise

Enterprises are student-driven, multidisciplinary teams that work like companies on real-world client projects, whether the deliverable is an innovative product, a pioneering solution, or a much-needed service. The hallmark of the Enterprise Program is the experiential training it provides to students. Many teams design, manufacture, and test their own prototypes—an end-to-end product development experience. Some teams prepare designs for national competitions, and some projects take teams abroad. Teams collaborate with clients from business and industry, and work closely with a faculty advisor.
