Alumni often ask about various ways to
financially support the department’s mission and priorities. Here are the
two primary strategies:
1) Make a gift of any amount to the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Fund through the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
These discretionary funds make a variety of
initiatives possible. Examples include undergraduate welcome-to-ECE lab
kits,
senior capstone design project funding, graduate student and faculty recruiting, and a wide variety of student
events that enhance their overall experience.
2) Support a specific larger-scale initiative such as
creating a new state-of-the-art instructional lab or capstone design space,
supporting faculty through named professorships,
broadening participation in undergraduate research
experiences, recruiting the nation’s top students and enhancing access through
prestigious graduate fellowships and undergraduate scholarships, supporting
graduate students’ research experiences and conference travel, supporting
innovation in ECE research and education, and elevating world-class ECE
research facilities. The wide-range of options for major gifts can be
discussed with one of our Directors of Development.
