Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago can be thought of as Materials Science & Engineering from a design-thinking approach. Why do we seem to ‘limit’ ourselves to materials? As you probably know, new and better materials are a game changer.
Companies will benefit enormously by leveraging complementary resources here. These resources include:
- Undergraduate molecular engineering student capstone projects
- Internships and externships for graduate and undergraduate students at your company
- Student and faculty consultants for companies
- Advanced analytical instrumentation available for industry to use
- Forming industry-university partnerships with creative and top-ranked faculty on federally funded projects
- Partnerships with two national laboratories and access to their resources
- Expanding your networking circles to leverage connections and talent
- Getting a jump on the competition by better understanding how emerging horizon 2-3 technologies can help your company improve resilience and self-disruption
- Executive education with certificate and Master's degree programs
- Being plugged in to one of the premier universities and business schools in the world
- Having dedicated people at the university help you find the right resources
Part of being a successful engineering school involves translating our discoveries into commercial space with the help of our industrial partners. Before that partnership can be nurtured and developed, there has to be a two-way value proposition for your company and the university.
