Partnering with the Engineering Learning Center at Notre Dame Much of what the College has been able to accomplish through the Engineering Learning Center is a result of its partnerships with corporations and engineering groups. However, the need is perpetual. If you or your company are interested in supplying materials for use in the Center, in sponsoring research through the Center, or in working with students as Industry Mentors, contact Dr. Stephen E. Silliman, Associate Dean for Educational Programs, at silliman.1@nd.edu or call (574) 631-0601.
