ISEN Partnership Program

The ISEN Partnership Program provides opportunities for companies to partner with the department in various and more formal ways. This program is intended to increase the department's visibility and streamline partnerships with industry. Furthermore, it will aid capstone projects for senior students, expose those same students to more opportunities for co-ops, internships and full-time employment, and make it easier for prospective industry partners to engage with the department. This program also provides a way for friends of the department to engage with and propel the department toward its goals in ways that are mutually beneficial. Rather than one-time projects, this program is designed to establish sustainable partnerships for the long-term.
