Phillips 66
A Sustaining Partner in the Chair's Circle
Phillips 66 has been one of the most valuable and long-term partners of the Mechanical Engineering Program and the MIE Department.
P66 investment includes offering and sponsoring industry-relevant and entrepreneurial Capstone Design projects per year since 2011, sponsoring the annual Capstone Fair since its inception in 2011, funding two graduate Teaching Assistants per year in support of ME undergraduate lab courses every year since 2009, and contributing members to the ME Capstone Design Review Panel. In addition P66 is a regular contributor to the Frmula SAE TigerRacing Club and the ASME Student Chapter.
Partnership Evidence and Investments
Founding and continuing annual sponsor since 2012 of the ME Capstone Design Project Fair - an event where students are introduced to proposed projects to undertake in the Capstone "Senior" Design course sequence (ME4243/EE4820, ME4202/EE4810).
Phillips 66 has contributed its Code of Business and Conduct document, which is now the official code for the ME Capstone Design Program and the associated course sequence (ME4243/ME4202).
Founding and continuing annual sponsor since 2009 of two ME Teaching Assistants for ME courses with a laboratory component. (* under ConocoPhillips until 2011-12)
