Make a Gift to the
College of Engineering

Why Give to the College of Engineering?

Charitable contributions by individuals, companies, and foundations provide the College of Engineering with the resources that assure vitality and growth in teaching and research programs. During fiscal year 2009, the College received $3 million in private contributions, which provided student aid, equipment, teaching facilities, and support for research.

For Fiscal Year 2010 (July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2010), Dean Michael J. Chajes has announced several goals that will help the College excel in new ways:

• Raise alumni participation from 14% to 17% (400 new alumni donors).  Colleges and universities of our size and stature average 25% alumni participation.

• Earn the support of at least fifty (50) new members of the Delaware Diamond Society.  Donors give at least $1,000 annually to engineering departments and programs.  This will establish a new contingent of leaders who make the College of Engineering a high priority in their annual giving.

• Complete plans and begin fund raising for a new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building.  Groundbreaking is scheduled for May 2011.  This College has been charged with raising $12 million in private support toward the successful completion of this project.
