Senior Engineering Sponsor Night
Tuesday, August 26, 2025, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
A Virtual Event, Open to Students, Faculty, & Sponsors
Welcome to 2025 Sponsor Night!
The University of Delaware’s Senior Engineering Design kicks off with Sponsor Night, a virtual networking event where students meet with project sponsors. This year we are excited to have 38 different sponsors from industry, academia, and clinical practice. Together with our two student competition teams (FSAE and ASAE), we are offering students the chance to participate in one of 42 different projects. The University of Delaware boasts one of the premier capstone engineering design programs in the country, and we could not do it without our sponsors. We are incredibly grateful to all our sponsors for providing real-world challenges for our students.
