• Submit your Project

  • Stakeholder Commitment

  • Mentorship

    We expect our stakeholders to commit approximately one hour per week to provide meaningful feedback and guidance to the student team within a reasonable timeframe. Stakeholders will be invited to briefly discuss the project with the class at the beginning of the fall semester as part of the team formation process, as well as invited to attend presentations at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Mentorship, participation, and feedback can be provided at the UAlbany campus, at stakeholder location, and/or remotely.
  • Financial Costs

    There is no mandatory financial commitment. However, stakeholders are strongly encouraged to provide resources that are necessary for successful completion of the sponsored project. If purchases are required to complete the project, students will create a budget and budget justification document for stakeholder review and approval.
  • Intellectual Property

    Under prearranged circumstances, our prospective project sponsors may retain intellectual property rights.  Sponsors that have projects involving unprotected intellectual property that wish to preserve their intellectual property should communicate this in the project intake form.  Arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis.  Any agreement must permit students to present their work in a public forum and to submit written technical reports and other documents to meet course requirements. Otherwise, by default,  our senior project undergraduate students, and the University, are governed by the SUNY IP policies described in Section 335.28 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations:  https://www.suny.edu/sunypp/documents.cfm?doc_id=88.   Per regulation, a student who is not also employed by the university, may retain ownership rights to intellectual property created through no more than incidental use of SUNY Resources, subject to those restrictions that may be required by an external sponsor, if any.
