The Industry Advisory Council for the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University has established a contribution-based fund that directly supports faculty, students, and the mechanical engineering department (MEEN) as a whole.
The Mechanical Engineering Advancement Fund was created to provide a mechanism of support that would stay within MEEN and be distributed consistent with the priority needs of the department.
Currently, the Mechanical Engineering Advancement Fund distributes contributions annually per the following allocation schedule:
- 50 percent to Faculty Support (Fellowships and Recognition)
- 30 percent to Undergraduate Endowed Student Scholarships
- 20 percent to MEEN Department Strategic Activities (excludes operating expense)
If you wish to help support the department through the Mechanical Engineering Advancement Fund, contributions may be made electronically, by postage mail or through Jeremy Quast, the MEEN development officer. If available, please leverage your company’s gift matching process.
