Each project is tailored to the sponsor’s specific needs.  Some sponsors come with a specific initiative in mind.  Others have less clear goals and rely on the team and faculty advisor to help them pinpoint focus, direction, and goals.  Sponsors can choose to be as involved as they like with each project.  Some choose to become closely involved while others take a more hands-off approach.
