Our more than 6,000 engineering students are equipped to be agile leaders who are empowered to better society and the planet. There are numerous ways to engage with them whether you’re looking to hire future interns or employees or support student design projects or clubs.
Fund a Design Project
If you’ve got challenges to tackle, we’ve got students who are eager to help find solutions to real problems. Funding a student project provides a low-cost, low-risk opportunity for your organization to:
- Develop fresh ideas and solve real-world problems
- Identify talent for employment
- Increase brand visibility on campus
- Provide project management experience for junior staff
- Network with other companies and UC Davis faculty
- Identify future research projects
- Participate in competitions and expos
Your Role in Design Projects
- Engage with Bright Minds: Attend regular weekly or bi-weekly meetings with our students to make sure they are on the right track.
- Foster Innovation: Financially sponsor your project, empowering students with real-world resources. The expense varies based on the required resources and is anticipated to fall between $2,000 and $5,000.
- Benefit from Fresh Perspectives: Experience the energy and novel approaches of our senior students.
Sponsor Student Clubs
The College of Engineering has more than 40 student organizations. These groups fall into several categories:
- Academic and professional
- Community service and outreach
- Competition teams
- Culture and identity
- Fraternity, sorority and honors society
We are confident you can find the type of students you are seeking to connect with, and there’s no shortage of opportunities to do so.
