Capstone Mentoring Program
This program was developed in 2011 to provide business mentors for each senior capstone design group. The purpose is to support the design team in developing more coherent and real world business plans and strategies upon which to base their project. Some mentors are equipped and willing to voluntarily expand their role into the technical areas… that is at the discretion of the mentor. The role can also expand into a role of general “coach” to a student or a team… again this at the discretion of the individual mentors. Read more…

Student Organization Support
In 2015 the Industrial Advisory Board approached OXE (chemical engineering honor society) and the student chapter of AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers) student leadership and offered to support their activities if they believed we could add value. Activities to date have been providing alumni once a semester for an evening mixer/panel discussion hosted by both organizations to respond to student’s questions about life after undergraduate studies.
