Industry Partnership Opportunities
At the University of St. Thomas College of Engineering, collaboration with industry is central to how we prepare the next generation of engineers, innovators, and technology leaders.
Industry, Research & Centers
Our faculty and students are always hungry for industry relevant research opportunities. From important discoveries to dynamic solutions, our faculty and students combine science and technology to drive development of our core research areas including sustainability, power systems and electronics, medical devices, materials and composite systems, robotics and dynamic systems, IoT, signal processing and embedded systems, heat and fluid flow, structures and much more.
Students at both graduate and undergraduate levels can and are encouraged to do research if they have the interest. It is a great way to gain new knowledge and skills and foster relationships with faculty and fellow students.
