The Clinic Program, an internationally recognized hallmark of Harvey Mudd College, engages juniors and seniors in the solution of real-world, technical problems for industrial clients. Founded as an innovation in engineering education in 1963, this program has been expanded to other HMC academic departments and copied by institutions worldwide.

Since the Clinic Program’s inception, almost 1,300 projects have been completed for corporate, national laboratory and agency sponsors. Companies retain all intellectual property rights that arise out of the project, and it is not uncommon for HMC students to be named on patents. In recent years, Clinic sponsors have filed between 10 and 15 patent disclosures at the end of their projects.
