College of Engineering Dean's Excellence Fund

If you were a University of Idaho engineering student, donors to the Dean’s Excellence Fund had an impact on your experience. The fund supports hands-on student experiences, K-12 outreach activities led by our college ambassador program, competition teams, student clubs, as well as undergraduate research activities driven by our vibrant, relevant and engaged faculty. Your gifts to the Dean’s Excellence Fund help today’s students become tomorrow’s engineers, entrepreneurs and leaders!

 

Engineering Design EXPO

Seniors from all of our engineering programs participate in presenting capstone work at EXPO, showcasing their efforts to our alumni, industry partners, local community and over 500 K-12 students from across the region. Your support helps provide funding for graduate student mentors for the undergraduates’ capstone projects and this year will help fund our students who participate in national competitions, such as our SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge and ASCE Concrete Canoe and Steel Bridge teams, by helping to pay their travel expenses to compete, as well as offset the cost of supplies and equipment.

 

This year, we’re celebrating our 25th anniversary of EXPO. Support our students with a gift and help ensure the next 25 years of Vandal Engineering!

 

 

The Micron Foundation has a long history of partnership with the U of I College of Engineering to spark a passion in the next generation of scientists and engineers. Thank you, Micron Foundation, for your continued support and investment in generations of future Vandal engineers!

We can't thank you enough.
May 16, 2018

For 1,889 minutes last week, Vandals from nearly every state and across the globe came together to support and celebrate the things we all love about the University of Idaho. Whether you made a gift or shared your love for U of I on social media by becoming an ambassador, the Vandal family made a statement together in raising nearly half a million dollars for our students and programs.  Thank you for the unprecedented generosity shown on Vandal Giving Day.
