$1,400 |
provides a summer stipend for a graduate student to be trained to be a teaching assistant training facilitator. |
$5,000 |
qualifies for sponsorship of a student team, such as the FSAE car team, the Mini Baja Team, the Rigid Air Foil Team, the CUAUV team, or the Concrete Canoe team. |
$5,000 |
supports the improvement of Computerized Instrumentation Design, a sophomore-level course taken by 25 percent of engineering students in the School of Applied and Engineering Physics |
$6,500 |
provides one high-level computer with monitor for the new design laboratories in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. |
$8,000 |
funds a computer projector for the environmental teaching laboratory in Civil and Environmental Engineering. |
