<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ViTechCurrently, the largest University-Industry collaboration event is the Job Fair. During the Job Fair, industries across the world come to UPRM in order to recruit students for internships, coops, or full-time positions. However, the Job Fair is also the best way for student run organizations to create partnerships with these industries. Most student organizations count with one or more sponsorships that are provided by recurring companies that come to Mayaguez to recruit. These sponsorhips can also fund labs and research projects. Another university-industry collaboration are the Capstone projects. In these projects, graduating engineering students are sent to an industry to solve a design problem which is assigned to them. The engineering student has to solve the industrial problem using all the knowledge aquired from their undergraduate studies and write a mini thesis in order to succesfully complete the course. </span>
