Student Team Technology Sponsorship
When engineering students participate in international collegiate design competitions, they gain invaluable experience in project management, teamwork, communication, design, manufacturing, and other skillsets. At Altair, we believe these skills are essential for the next generation of designers, engineers, architects, product developers, and do-it-all innovators who will champion tomorrow’s breakthroughs and discoveries – that’s why we’ve been a proud and active technology sponsor of competitive collegiate design teams from around the world for more than 30 years.
