Client Information

Our students work on projects submitted by individuals, companies, and community organizations. Real projects from real clients are essential to courses such as: DSGN 106, Engineering Design and Communication (EDC); DSGN 298, Interdisciplinary Design Projects; and DSGN 398, Interdisciplinary Design Projects II.

Project proposals are collected on a rolling basis and may be presented to students at all levels within the design curriculum. Projects will be periodically reviewed for suitability and offered within the next available academic term.

If you have an idea for a project, you can tell us about it using our online project submission form. If you have any questions about the form or your project, please let us know.

If you would like more information about becoming a client for a design project, or if you want to discuss a project idea with us before submitting it, please contact Phillip Jacob, pjacob@northwestern.edu, 847-467-3533.
