The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) invites you to collaborate with our Design and Entrepreneurship courses in the BS of Engineering Innovation and Leadership. In these courses, junior-level learners are ready to apply their skills to real-world challenges. In this course, students engage in the human-centered design process, exploring from interactions with people to developing products that shape the future. They seek opportunities to build skills in engineering design, problem-solving, and leadership while addressing meaningful projects.

As an employer, your role is crucial in guiding and supporting learners through their project journey. You'll communicate regularly, provide necessary information, and offer constructive feedback to student groups collaborating on projects via the Riipen platform. Your virtual presence at the final presentation will ensure a comprehensive understanding of the student's achievements.

At the end of the collaboration, employers will receive a final report highlighting the main findings and recommendations proposed by the student teams. Additionally, employers will have the opportunity to attend the final presentation, where learners will showcase their project outcomes and address any questions or feedback from the employer's perspective.
