The Advantages of Creating an Industry Partnership with the Department of Computer Science
Research Benefits:
Opportunities for collaboration on Partners' research needs. Such interactions can take many forms - from on-site presentations to projects involving faculty, graduate or undergraduate students.
Invitations to present technical talks within the department, providing Partners occasions to showcase their research or development projects. Undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty are invited to these seminars. Partners have the option of including a question and answer session at the end of the presentation.
Recruiting Benefits:
Attendance at the fall Industry Night when it is held.
Conducting employment information sessions and tech talks within our department. Private interview offices located within the department are also available for our partner companies' use, based on availability and membership level.
Employment and internship opportunities distributed to all undergraduates and graduate students via mailing lists, electronic signage, and in Handshake in coordination with Brown's Center for Career Exploration. The Department works closely with Partners to share opportunities with highly talented and motivated students for internships or summer and full-time employment.
Additionally, member companies will receive acknowledgment in and subscription to Conduit. With a circulation of 3,500, this biannual research publication reaches all Brown Computer Science and Computer Engineering alumni, all chairs of CS and CE departments in North America, and many others.
Intangible Benefits:
The funding for the IPP has allowed us to send students to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference, ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, Out in Tech conference, and other conferences to broaden their networking and bolster their interest in computer science.
Funding has provided discretionary funding for faculty to employ undergraduates for on-camps research opportunities, preparing them for future careers.
