Project proposals are accepted from June through September. College of Engineering faculty can advise on project ideas and scope upon request.
What makes a good project proposal?
- Scoped for a small team of students, with design and performance criteria requiring appropriate analytical study on a topic directly relevant to engineering
- Contains both a design and results phase, culminating in a specific project outcome
- Reflects lower-priority real-world problems faced by your organization; mission-critical problems are not appropriate projects
- Appropriate for entry-level engineers in their first or second year on the job
- Primarily self-contained, but also integrates within a larger context
* Starting in 2021-22, the program is expanding to include graduate-level projects and student teams.
We strongly encourage projects that are open to all UW Engineering students, regardless of citizenship.
