Learning Factory - Sponsors - Benefits

Sponsors report many benefits from their involvement with the Learning Factory and the College of Engineering's capstone design program:

  1. Low-risk, low-cost investment with high potential ROI (return on investment)

  2. Work on "back burner" projects and help refine ideas

  3. Help start-up and small companies with prototyping and development work (while fleshing out a business plan through collaboration with a team of business students)

  4. Direct access to some of the best Penn State students (15-week interview)

  5. Newly hired employees (i.e., Penn State students) are better trained as a result

  6. Company liaison overseeing the project gains invaluable project management experience

  7. Increase brand awareness among Penn State students and faculty

  8. Entry point (and guide) into the Penn State network

  9. Network with other companies through Learning Factory events and cross-promotions

  10. Opportunity to give back to the University and influence the education and careers of many students
