Lab Sponsorship Program

The College of Engineering's Laboratory Sponsorship Program was established for corporations that partner with the college. The program provides sponsors with on-campus name recognition and visibility, and symbolizes active industry involvement in Cal Poly's hands-on, project- and design-centered engineering and computer science education.

Funding

Lab Sponsorships begin at $10,000 per year with a five-year commitment. During that time, the sponsor organization will be recognized in the lab and in the classes and project work within the lab. Funds are used for supplies, materials, equipment, and graduate support.

Some labs require additional financial support. In-kind equipment grants may be considered for Lab Sponsorship, when that equipment supports the core of the lab activities.

“Wow! Cal Poly students get to build satellites and actually launch them!

I came here from Stanford for my master's and served as the mechanical systems lead on the satellite project. You can't get a hands-on opportunity like this at almost any other university.
