Engagement Opportunities

Lunch and Learn | Host a small group of students for lunch and mentoring. These informal meetings are a great way to connect with students on a deeper level.

Table Talk | This is an opportunity to informally network with students and brand your organization by setting up a table (provided by our office) in Broun Hall near the ECE department.

Table Talk | This is an opportunity to informally network with students and brand your organization by setting up a table (provided by our office) in the Brown-Kopel Engineering Student Achievement Center.

Student Organization Meetings |  Our office will facilitate connecting you with the appropriate student organization(s) to meet your recruitment needs.

Questions about about engaging with student organizations during Fall 2026 can be directed to Emily Kaplowitz at eck0046@auburn.edu 

In every engineering discipline, our senior-level students work in teams to design, build, and test solutions to real-world problems. These Capstone/Senior Design projects offer employers the opportunity to work with and mentor senior students on projects relevant to the company. If you are interested in sponsoring a project, please email Apryl Mullins at mulliat@auburn.edu

Length of Projects by Major:

 GOOD PROJECTS SHOULD…

• Have a clear outcome- something the students can demonstrate at the conclusion to both sponsors and faculty.
• Support work already being done or proposed by the sponsor
• Have an educational component – help students synthesize what they have learned as undergraduates
• Have a creative component – not just running simulations or crunching numbers
• Have realistic constraints such as size, weight, power, and cost
• Recognize that the level of expertise of the students may not be the same as full-time employees
• Accommodate the students’ schedules

 GOOD PROJECTS SHOULD NOT…

• Constrain the students to an overly ambitious schedule such as an imminent product release date
• Be subject to being terminated prior to completion
• Be subject to ITAR or similar restrictions (international students will be participating)
• Require extended travel
• Be the basis for whether a product succeeds in the marketplace

Our corporate philanthropic partners serve an important role in advancing our mission, and we are excited to share the following opportunities for support.

Student Support | Scholarships are vital to providing the Auburn Engineering experience to our undergraduate students. Fellowships and Graduate Awards are a difference-maker in our ability to recruit talented graduate students.

Faculty Support | Through professorships, we recruit and retain the best faculty members who instruct our students and conduct cutting-edge research.

Programmatic | 100+ Women Strong is committed to supporting women in engineering at Auburn. As a corporate member, you’ll get the opportunity to support these students and participate in additional recruiting events. The Center for Inspiring Engineering Excellence plays a vital role in promoting diversity among the Auburn University student body.

Departmental | Your direct support of a specific department can make a major impact on research, teaching and more.

Contact Jon Wilson at jpw0031@auburn.edu to learn more about how you can leave a lasting legacy.

Employer-in-Residence  |  This is your opportunity to impart wisdom to the students regarding their professional development. You may even find some great candidates in the process!
