Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering | University of San Diego

Students within the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering at the University of San Diego collaborate with corporate sponsors to develop projects from concept to creation. During the fall semester, teams refine problem statements and design concepts. In spring, they finalize designs and build prototypes. This hands-on experience, often conducted at the sponsor's site, benefits both students and industry partners—providing valuable real-world experience and innovative solutions.
