Support Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Your gift to the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering will enhance the education and lives of our students and can support faculty, too.
Special Giving Initiatives for the 2024-2025 Academic Year
Mechanical and aerospace students in the senior design course take part in hands-on experiences by building and testing their prototypes. To support this experience, the Department seeks to raise $10,000 for this academic year to distribute to the 40 student teams.
The UB Student Chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) needs a new trailer to transport their vehicles (Baja and snowmobile) to competitions. The Department is seeking to raise partial support in the amount of $5,000 for the club to purchase a new trailer.
Fundraising Progress to Date
So far, we have raised $1050 toward our total goal of $15,000. Thank you for your generous donations! Every dollar counts!
Ongoing Support for MAE
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering uses its funds to support four specific areas:
Your gift will help support student needs for clubs, projects, supplies and materials, attending conferences and enhancing their educational experiences.
Funds will be used for student laboratory upgrades, new computers, and can be applied to other student activities such as conference travel.
Our carefully structured research budgets leave little room for additional, but essential, activities such as upgrading research equipment, or sending graduate students to conferences. Your gift can support research and enhance student educational experience.
Support for the scholarship fund helps undergraduate students with their tuition, books and other academic fees.
Your impact
Discretionary funds can be used wherever there is a need to improve and support student activities, experiences and research, which can raise the profile of our department as we excel to be a top 25 program.
