Enterprise

Multidisciplinary, Real-world Project Experience on Campus

Enterprise is a capstone option and more.

Michigan Tech's exclusive Enterprise program aims to connects students and industry through open-ended, real world client sponsored projects. Students enroll in one of over 20 Enterprise teams across campus that cover a variety of technical focus areas. Teams design using industry-recognized CAD/CAE software packages in dedicated Enterprise Team spaces while collaborating on cloud-based, real-time messaging and file-sharing platforms. Students of all majors are represented across Enterprise. Faculty members act as mentors while industry experts from a myriad of sectors serve as client/mentors, helping students make the transition from campus to early career.
