Industrial Partnership Program

The ECE Industrial Partnership Program (IPP) is a multi-level support structure designed to create an environment conducive to enhanced and accelerated technology and knowledge transfer between academia and industry. The relationships that are developed through the IPP facilitate increased student recruiting opportunities and stronger research collaborations with our faculty.

The program allows industry to participate at various membership levels in support of the School of ECE. Membership provides flexible and tailored access to students, research, faculty, publications, seminars, workshops, conferences, and more.

Over 110 members of the full-time academic ECE faculty are organized into 10 Technical Groups spanning the entire spectrum of Electrical and Computer Engineering. These are Bioengineering, Computer Engineering, Digital Signal Processing, Electric Power, Electromagnetics, Electronic Design and Applications, Microelectronics, Optics and Photonics, Systems and Controls, and Telecommunications. We align our partners with key faculty and students in the area/s that best fit their corporate focus.

With an enrollment of over 2,300 students, the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering is the largest school at Georgia Tech and is one of the largest producers of electrical and computer engineering graduates in the U.S. The average entering ECE freshman has a high school GPA of 3.71 and a SAT score of 1350. We are proud to help create and nurture the nation's future engineering leaders, and we look to industry to help support that important process by investing in education. Your company's support enables us to provide world class education and programs to our world class students.
