Who will be the next person to come up with an invention or discovery that will change the world? Nobody knows. But it will likely be an engineer or computer scientist, because these fields attract men and women who have the ability and the drive to find new ways of doing things. They expand the possibilities. They power the future.

The Affiliates program of the College of Engineering and Computer Science is powered by the idea that industry, individuals and the university all benefit by working together to educate workforce-ready technologists of the highest caliber - the inventors of our future.

There are more than 7,500 alumni of the College of Engineering and Computer Science making a difference in the world today, not just in the region but all around the globe. ECS is the springboard from which our students have launched successful careers, founded new companies, and developed new technologies, solutions, and systems for industry.

Affiliates, through their membership support and active participation, are key stakeholders in the continuing legacy of all Engineering and Computer Science Students.

Internet, the lightning speed of technological change and the increasingly multi-disciplinary face of technology in the workplace demand that we innovate, providing a continually evolving inquiry-based, hands-on curriculum utilizing state-of-the-art knowledge and equipment.

ECS Affiliates is a mission critical to enabling our students to keep pace in an atmosphere of constant change. With the support of its Affiliates, the College of Engineering and Computer Science forges technologists of the future who will provide the backbone of technological growth in our region. Specifically, Affiliates memberships help fund key initiatives such as:

	Laboratory, classroom, and equipment upgrades
	Senior Design/Capstone projects
	Curriculum enhancements and student/faculty research
	Other Dean's and Departmental funding priorities

We invite you to join the College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) in preparing the technical workforce of the future by becoming an Affiliate and witnessing the tremendous difference you can make in the lives of those who will drive technological progress and shape society in the 21st Century.

Affiliates member companies and individuals enhance educational and career opportunities for ECS students through the support and growth of programs, technical infrastructure, student and faculty research, and cooperative educational relationships in both the classroom and the workplace. Affiliates also enjoy many benefits throughout the year, including access to students and faculty, invitations to college and campus events, and special programs for Affiliates Members.
