Community & Engagement<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

Our college is just a building without the people who to teach, inspire, collaborate and share their enthusiasm for engineering and computer science every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that being driven, having state-of-the-art resources and using cutting-edge technologies is not enough without having the businesses, research foundations and community partners that help bring ideas to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are at the heart of what we do, so it makes sense that building relationships between students, alumni, business leaders and community members is critical to the success of our programs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Corporate Partnerships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When our faculty and researchers collaborate with industry, everyone wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Connected Systems Institute (CSI) is an example of a center of excellence on campus at 51ÁÔÆæ that accelerates innovation by working with tools that support the development of advanced manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future looks brighter when we work together.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alumni making a difference<\/div>
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (\u201990 MS Computer Science) and his wife Anu donated $2 million to create the Nadella Scholars Program.

The fund will support efforts to recruit, retain and graduate undergrads, preparing them with the skills to pursue careers in computer science, data science and information technology.<\/div>Alumni<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Preparing future engineers and computer scientists<\/div>
Internships and co-ops provide important hands-on opportunities for our students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios.

Businesses also have the opportunity to meet our in-demand engineering and computer science students through career fairs in the fall and spring. <\/div>Career Services<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Support our college’s initiatives<\/div>
There are many ways to support our students, researchers and future students at the 51ÁÔÆæ College of Engineering & Applied Science.

You can make a difference by providing financial support through scholarships, senior design projects, research support or sponsorship of one of our college’s many events such as the Research Poster Competition & Experiential Learning Expo.<\/div>Sponsorships<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":4573,"parent":0,"menu_order":37,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-162","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nCollege of Engineering & Applied Science<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The College of Engineering & Applied Science is just a building without the people who to teach, inspire, collaborate and share their enthusiasm for engineering and computer science every day.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/engineering\/community-engagement\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Community & Engagement\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The College of Engineering & Applied Science is just a building without the people who to teach, inspire, collaborate and share their enthusiasm for engineering and computer science every day.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/engineering\/community-engagement\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"College of Engineering & Applied Science\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-04-03T14:45:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/537\/2021\/06\/banner-community-engagement.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/engineering\\\/community-engagement\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/engineering\\\/community-engagement\\\/\",\"name\":\"Community & Engagement -
