The J. Mike Walker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering currently has several giving opportunities. Please make a selection from the choices presented:
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate and Graduate Scholarships
These funds directly support our students by providing scholarships and fellowships through a competitive process.
These funds provide support to a faculty member to enable them to improve the quality of research for their field, support graduate students and ultimately to impact society. The Reddy Chair honors Dr. J.N. Reddy, Oscar S. Wyatt Jr Chair Professor, Regents Professor, Distinguished Professor and National Academy of Engineering member, who has been with the department since 1992.
Mechanical Engineering Excellence Fund
These funds provide general support to the department for a variety of endeavors that include professional development for faculty, staff and students, student organization support; development activities; award recognition and more.
To provide a truly impactful learning experience to our students, we must be able to venture outside of the classroom. In order to provide meaningful content, the student development fund can be utilized for study abroad opportunities, emergency scholarships, bring in esteemed guest lecturers or public speakers and ensure that student groups have financial means to attend national conferences and competitions.
Mechanical Engineering Advancement Fund/Industrial Advisory Council Fund
The Mechanical Engineering Advancement/Industrial Advisory Council Fund provides support to recruit and retain the best faculty and students through faculty fellowships, endowed undergraduate scholarships, department head strategic initiatives and faculty and staff recognition and support
