Labs, Research Centers, and Institutes
Numerous corporations have partnered with one or more of our world-class research centers, laboratories, and institutes to form strong research collaborations with key faculty members and leading-edge multidisciplinary teams. As a testament to the value of these partnerships--most involving both significant investment and a multi-year commitment--many of these collaborations span a decade or more. In a true partnership, both parties benefit from the steady flow of ideas, innovations, challenges, and even people. In many instances, visiting researchers and engineers from our strategic partners can be seen on campus, working side-by-side with our research teams.

Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs are a cost effective way to have a window into the future. Being an active affiliate member can also give you a chance to influence that future as well. Through meetings and workshops, affiliate members get an early look at faculty and student research, while providing ideas and potential applications for specific research projects. Affiliate programs span fields as vast as future information technology systems for critical infrastructure, new methods of purifying water, to innovative technologies that will enable revolutionary 3D nano-manufacturing systems.

Corporate affiliates can also discuss emerging innovations with suppliers and customers in a related field while developing solid relationships with students for future recruiting.
