Four-year Project Design Spine (FPDS)
Transfer Scholars Program (TSP)
Due to community college enrollment characteristics in most communities, it is anticipated that most transfer students would continue to be low-income underrepresented minorities and women from local community colleges. It is suggested that about three local community colleges would be established as strategic partners by November 2024 and would participate in the inaugural Day on Campus with Strategic Corporate Partners. The community colleges would first participate in developing the Transfer Scholars Program. Potential transfer students would be awarded full-tuition scholarships, and each finalist would have the opportunity to interview for an internship with Strategic Corporate Partners for the summer prior to AY 2025-26 as an incoming student. During the spring of 2026, two-year capstone design projects would be introduced at two or three local partner community colleges concurrent with second-year design projects being introduced at the host university.
Intrapreneurship Program (IP)
Uniquely places emphasis on applying an entrepreneurial mindset and design thinking to intrapreneurial activity, i.e., being entrepreneurial within the context of an existing organization. Finally, engineering and computer science majors with a minor or certificate in intrapreneurship, fully prepared to enter a career in new product design and development within an existing organization.
