Corporate Engagement
An Engine for Innovation
The University of Missouri College of Engineering prepares students for real-world success through the Missouri Method—our signature approach to experiential learning. From day one, students engage in hands-on projects, internships and applied research that build the skills needed to meet workforce demands. Industry partners play a critical role by providing students with real-world experience and insight into the challenges they’ll face in their careers.
In return, industry partners gain early access to top engineering talent, opportunities to shape workforce-ready curricula, and connections to faculty expertise and state-of-the-art research facilities. These collaborations help companies strengthen their talent pipelines, boost visibility on campus and co-develop innovative solutions with lasting impact.
Capstone Projects
Partner with the College of Engineering on a student-led capstone project and gain fresh insight into a real-world challenge your organization faces. Collaborate with top engineering students as they apply their skills to design innovative, practical solutions—with guidance from experienced faculty.
Capstone projects are a valuable way to evaluate emerging talent, advance product or process development and build long-term connections with future engineers.
Student Engagement
Connect with the next generation of engineering talent by offering real-world insights through class presentations or hosting site visits. These engagements allow your team to showcase technical expertise, share industry challenges and build early relationships with students poised to enter the workforce.
Research Engagement
Collaborate with Mizzou Engineering faculty and students on cutting-edge research that addresses your organization’s real-world challenges. Industry partnerships can include applied R&D, technology development and access to undergraduate research talent—providing early exposure to students while advancing your innovation goals.
