Industry Partnerships
Partnering with Northeastern’s College of Engineering can help you create a variety of solutions— from talent development to sponsored research, and access to shared research facilities and faculty engagement opportunities. Industry partners also sponsor student capstone and student club projects, entrepreneurship ventures, and more.
View our College of Engineering talent portal, highlighting PhD candidates and postdocs seeking career opportunities in industry and academia.
In addition to traditional research-oriented graduate degrees, specialized Master of Science degrees and Graduate Certificates aligned with industry needs are offered. The Graduate School of Engineering is top ranked and offers flexible program structures, including full-time and part-time programs as well as courses offered online.
Our signature cooperative education program (co-op) is both good business and good for business. With talented young workers on staff on whom you can depend, your experienced employees can turn their attention to developing new strategic initiatives. By nurturing young talent, your company is laying the foundation for those who will guide the work in years to come. Co-op employers gain cost-effectiveness, support, a pipeline for future full-time talent, and the opportunity to engage with budding talents in the field.
Industry and government partner with Northeastern for basic and applied research. The reason is simple: they know that at Northeastern, our two guiding principles are interdisciplinary collaboration and engagement with the real world. These principles are reflected in our research programs, which are driven by critical issues in materials, processes, systems and infrastructure. Our research collaborations are a win-win-win: our partners receive knowledge and products tailored to their needs, our researchers validate and extend their work, and our students receive training and experience to become the next generation of effective technologists.
Our faculty are at the forefront of pioneering discoveries, inventing solutions to better the world. View patents awarded by year to faculty in the College of Engineering from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Each of our academic departments has an Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) to help faculty develop programs mapping to emerging and current industry needs. View current IAB members by department:
