Industry

At the James and Patricia Anderson College of Engineering, bridging the gap between academia and industry is a core priority. By fostering partnerships with business leaders within the Wayne State community, we aim to enhance learning outcomes, maximize the impact of research, and equip our students with industry-relevant skills. These collaborations not only strengthen commercial applications but also ensure that our engineering graduates are prepared for the challenges of the modern workforce.

One of the most effective ways employers can engage with the College is by hosting or participating in on-campus events. In partnership with our Engineering Career Resource Center, employers can share opportunities, organize workshops, recruit top talent, and schedule information sessions to connect with students.
