Industry Collaboration 

Parks College has been further building their collaborations and relationships with companies around the world to enhance their industry network. Faculty are working on grants with industry organizations, alumni are connecting with the college and continuing education is growing, with recent courses in civil engineering offered.

An example of strong industry support is in the civil engineering department launch. The industry and executive advisory boards of the college, alumni and organizations in the St. Louis area were instrumental in setting the foundation for the program. The college received generous funding by the launch of the program, and had a large turnout at the inauguration, welcoming the first class of civil engineers at the college, set to graduate in 2013.
