Corporate Engagement

Industry partnerships and sponsorships extend ENE's pioneering efforts to prepare students for their chosen engineering disciplines and beyond. We partner with corporations and local institutions (e.g. Kimberly-Clark, Amazon and Imagination Station) to bring real and challenging engineering design problems to the classroom. Companies provide financial support and industry know-how, help us prepare future engineers to meet the global grand challenges ahead, and benefit from increased brand recognition and student access. 

Inquire further about corporate giving opportunities by contacting Jeff Anderson with Purdue for Life.
