The Foster Family Center for Engineering Service Learning actively seeks nonprofit community partners willing to provide meaningful design challenges, access to new technology, and opportunities to help develop the next generation of skilled workers. 

Mentored by UC Merced faculty members, students design teams and collaborate with community partners to implement engineering solutions to meet their needs. These partners can improve existing services, launch new programs, and try new and innovative ideas while helping students gain meaningful, real-life engineering experience.

The Engineering Service Learning teams provide engineering design services and prototypes to our community partners free of charge—an even better value in these uncertain economic times. The Foster Center works with community partners to raise the necessary funds to implement future expansions of the products offered.
