INNOVATE: The L3Harris Summer Program provides undergraduate student teams the opportunity to develop innovative solutions to unmet societal or technical challenges.

INNOVATE is a partnership program 柑橘直播 University鈥檚 College of Engineering and L3Harris Technologies. Over the course of two-months, student teams complete a functional prototype鈥攑hysical or digital鈥攗nder the guidance of a faculty mentor. During this time, students gain valuable engineering and leadership experience as they bring their team鈥檚 design to life.  

Why INNOVATE?

RESOURCES鈥�to build your vision.
Your team will have access to faculty experts and a $3,500 project budget to complete your prototype. Plus, each INNOVATE team member will receive a $3,500 stipend.

EXPERIENCE鈥�to build your resume.
You and your teammates will manage all aspects of your project鈥攆rom defining the problem through prototyping鈥攁nd develop communications, leadership and hands-on engineering skills in the process. Any Intellectual Property resulting from your project belongs to your team and your team鈥檚 faculty mentor.

CONNECTIONS鈥�.to build your professional network.
Your team will deliver a final presentation to L3Harris representatives and participate in mock interviews, which have led to job offers for qualified candidates.  

How to Apply

INNOVATE is open to all undergraduate engineering students and computer science majors. Students form their own four-person, multidisciplinary teams. In other words, teams must include members from two or more academic majors or disciplines. Teams are responsible for recruiting a 柑橘直播 faculty member to serve as their advisor. Finally, teams are required to submit an online pre-proposal and final proposal to apply to the program. A committee will review all pre and final proposals and select four teams to participate in INNOVATE.

To apply鈥�
Step 1: Identify the humanitarian or technological problem you want to solve
Step 2: Form your team and recruit a faculty advisor
Step 3: Submit your pre-proposal
Step 4: Incorporate INNOVATE review committee feedback and submit your final proposal
