THE BEST TYPES OF PROJECTS OVER 55 SPONSORS

GOOD REASONS TO JOIN SPONSORS HOLD IPLEARNING OBJECTIVES

• All intellectual property is held by sponsor • All work covered by Non Disclosure Agreement • Teams work in restricted-access spaces

• Fresh look at an important problem• Get to know Olin students• Support innovative engineering education

• Fortune 500 corporations• Government research laboratories• Product development firms• Small businesses and start-ups

Significant engineering challenge High student interest Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurial Multi-year partnership

1. Directly in-line with primary business-critical to mission

2. Results would dramatically benefit the company, but not enough resources to work on project.

3. Results would have no effect on operations.

Olin College prepares students to become exemplary engineering innovators who recognize needs, design solutions, and engage in creative enterprises for the good of the world.
