The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering offers a variety of options to engage with our engineering students. All of these options are available in-person or virtually. If you have another way you would prefer to engage, let us know, and we will work with you to customize your experience.
Engagement Opportunities
Intro to Engineering Recruitment | If you are new to recruiting on campus, please attend a virtual Information Session to learn more about the roadmap to engagement in Auburn Engineering.
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!
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 | Created for you to connect with discipline- or industry-specific student organizations. Our office will facilitate connecting you with the appropriate student organization(s) to meet your recruitment needs.
To request information about meeting with student organizations please fill out this Qualtrics Survey
Further questions about engaging with student organizations can be directed to Brooks Triplett at bmt0027
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 fill out the interest form below and our team will contact you.

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
