CCSE Partnerships
With emphasis on theory and practice, the College of Computing and Software Engineering (CCSE) students have experiential learning opportunities and partner with companies through internships, co-ops, sponsored capstone projects, and theoretical applied research.
Partnerships help strengthen our outcomes, improve our community, and better serve
our business partners. Through engaged collaboration with our partners, we can ensure
our curriculum is aligned with the skill set needed to produce the highest caliber
of "workforce ready" graduates.

We offer partnerships with our students through a variety of ways:
-
CCSE Hackathon
The CCSE Hackathon is the College’s premier event in showcasing student talent and connecting companies to our students. Through dedicated “threads” (aka themes) within the event, companies can raise awareness of opportunities for students to work with them, increase brand awareness, and locate top talent for computing workforce.
