Corporate Partners

Are you searching for outstanding researchers to collaborate with?  Perhaps your organization is seeking students to hire for internships or full-time employment.  Look no further than ECE Illinois!

Why collaborate with ECE Illinois faculty?

  • Experts abound.  With more than 100 researchers specializing in areas ranging from power economics to Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) to nanotechnology, you’ll find the expert you need.  And, that’s easy to do using our Expert Search tool.
  • Experience.  Many of our faculty have industry experience and quite a few have been involved with start up companies.  Still others operate their own businesses today, often out of the University’s Research Park.

Want exposure to ECE’s outstanding students?
Consider the following opportunities:

  • Give a presentation at an ECE Explorations session.  These weekly sessions feature guest speakers who describe new technology, industry trends, and career opportunities.  Speakers are welcome to host a reception in connection with their presentation.

  • Host a Corporate PowerLunch on campus.  This is a great way to meet with students in an intimate setting.  ECE will make all arrangements.

  • Host a reception or informational session in Everitt Laboratory. 

  • Sponsor a senior design project.  Sponsors suggest student projects and serve as mentors for students throughout the semester.

  • Coordinate a meeting or event with one of ECE’s student organizations: IEEE, HKN, or WECE.

  • Fund an undergraduate scholarship or award or a graduate fellowship.
