Our large
student
body is a vast resource for hiring opportunities. Future electrical
and computer engineers who study at Ohio State will work in teams to address
real engineering issues that are being studied by industry. Students
also have the opportunity to become involved with interdisciplinary
engineering teams, which compete with other colleges across the
country. Industry plays a big role in the academic process because
the relationship is beneficial to the students, and the companies
that support them.
The senior
design courses enable students to gain valuable experience by
working as a team on a corporate sponsored research project. A
contribution of $5,000 cash or in-kind will support a project
that may identify a corporate research problem, generate alternative
solutions, and propose a plan of implementation. Support of the
senior design courses involves a mutually beneficial interaction
between industry, students, and faculty. As a member of the ECE
Industrial Affiliates program, contributors may also receive customized
graduate, and undergraduate resume books, improved access to technical
data on the web, and an invitation to our annual convention (date: TBD). The student
project teams provide true synergy throughout the College
of Engineering. Corporate support for these teams will ensure
that our engineering students uphold the Buckeye tradition of
excellence.
Graduate students
staff the Research
Labs, which are supervised by faculty members, who work individually
and in teams to provide cutting edge technology to industry. Contact
the Director of the Industrial
Affiliates Program for details on participating in electrical
and computer engineering research.
The College
of Engineering provides students with programs that further enrich
the learning experience at OSU. The Guide
for Partnering offers another avenue to support the students
by becoming involved with Engineering Honors, Minority Engineering,
and the Women in Engineering Program.
