Corporate Relations

Advisory Board

The Advisory Council is a group of industry executives who are either engineers or have an interest in the engineering profession. They foster direct professional communication between industry, engineering firms, government agencies, and UNO's College of Engineering. This unique collaboration between faculty and industry serves to strengthen the College of Engineering.

Capstone Project

The Senior Electrical Engineering Design Project is a 3-credit course (ENEE 3092) open to graduating seniors only, in which the goal is to complete the design of an interdisciplinary engineering project. Projects are supported and sponsored by industry leaders.

Corporations who have previously sponsored projects include BellSouth Telecommunications, Lockheed Martin, and MS Benbow.

A sponsor's participation includes:

• Providing specialized equipment. (UNO will provide standard electronic test equipment such as meters and scopes.)
• Presenting project details to student class during the first or second week of semester.
• Submitting the "Sponsor's Project Description" form no later than the first week of the semester.
• Every 2-3 weeks, attending an informal oral group presentation given by students to inform sponsor and instructor of progress being made and for general project update.
• At end of semester, attend the comprehensive oral report given by students, scheduled for the day of scheduled final exam. The final end-of-semester oral presentation is a formal presentation attended by student team members, other invited students, instructor, project sponsors, invited faculty, as well as members of the UNO EE Advisory Board.
