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.
Your impact
We asked for your help to support two special giving initiatives for the 2024-2025 academic year, and you delivered! Because of your support, we were able to meet our goal of $15,000 to support our Senior Design Students and also help the UB Student Chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers buy a new trailer to transport their vehicles to competitions. Thank you for your generous donations!
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 asked for help to raise $10,000 for the 2024-2025 academic year to distribute to the 40 student teams.
The UB Student Chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) needed a new trailer to transport their vehicles (Baja and snowmobile) to competitions. The Department asked for help to raise partial support in the amount of $5,000 for the club to purchase a new trailer.
Give to the fund that means the most to you.
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering relies on support with gifts to three main funds. Each and every gift is appreciated and makes an impact.
Gifts to the department fund provide critical support in the following areas:
Gifts will help cover the costs of supplies and materials needed by students for hands-on, experiential learning.
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.
Engineering clubs are another important way our students gain hands-on experience with the material they learn in the classroom. Make a donation to support club activities, projects, and travel to conferences and competitions.
Make a significant impact to a student. Donations to the scholarship fund help undergraduate students in our department cover costs associated with their tuition, books and other academic fees.
