We are looking for SCOPE projects that have the potential for a great return for the company, but are not in a critical path.

All companies have three classes of problems: Class 1 problems are the mission-critical problems that companies must focus on for survival. Class 2 problems are strategic in nature and have been sitting on the back burner, for lack of time and skilled labor to address them. Addressing these problems could significantly and positively affect the bottom line, provide a foundation for explosive growth or enable successful entry into a profitable new business area. Class 3 problems are low-level and have no significant impact on corporate operations.

If your company has a great Class 2 problem that could significantly benefit your company and you are interested in exploring the pure venture R&D opportunity of having a team of innovative, entrepreneurial engineers focus on it for a year, please contact the SCOPE Office. Olin students can do extraordinary work; let them take on your challenge and work for you.

We work with interested sponsors to develop good projects that meet the needs of the client and the college's educational objectives. Areas of interest include:

• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Bioengineering
• Materials Science
• Engineering Design
• Prototyping
• Entrepreneurship
• Interdisciplinary teams of engineers
