Most of these projects are sponsored by our industrial partners, who provide initial project specification and mentoring. Partner companies include Tietronix, AtLink Communications, United Space Alliance, GHG Corporation, MiniCheck-OCR, etc. This partnership provides invaluable industrial experience to the students, significantly helping them to find jobs after graduation. Some of them were hired by the mentoring companies.
