How do I go about getting some student assistance with a project we are planning?

Small Business Institute
The Small Business Institute utilizes College of Business Administration students under close faculty supervision to provide customized, in-depth, confidential consulting to regional businesses in strategic planning, supply chain management, operations and productions, technology transfer and marketing. http://www.nfib.com/page/homend.html
Students in Free Enterprise

The SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) is about outreach. NDSU SIFE does outreach projects that have influence on students, from the elementary level on up through college, and those in the general business community. SIFE educates people about free enterprise by teaching them about business plans, retirement opportunities, responsible business practices, and much more. SIFE has served as a liaison between successful professional business leaders and students. SIFE has taught elementary school to college age students about free enterprise through mentoring, workshops and seminars.

Students in Technology Transfer And Research (STTAR)

STTAR is a work-placement program, matching upper division North Dakota University System students with the North Dakota firms. The company pays at least half of the student salary.

Industrial Engineering & Manufacturing Capstone Projects:
Real-world client projects serve as the workload for the course, and the student project teams are assigned to the various projects. The purpose of the project teams is to study their client's problems, develop alternative solutions, and propose implementation strategies. Each year project ideas are solicited from area industries. Although there is no deadline for when potential clients should contact the department, it is highly recommended that it be done no later than one month before the spring semester. Potential clients can reach the department to request consideration for a senior project team by submitting an online form or calling the IME department chair, Dr. David Wells at (701) 231-7287.
