ONE TIME FUNDS UNDER $3,000 FOR COURSE RELATED PROJECTS: Request one-time funds (typically used within one term) under $3,000 total per request from the CET Dean's Office Student Affairs area for either a) undergraduate research and creative works, b) classroom-based student projects, or c) competitions, contests, or record-breaking efforts. This is where capstone requests should be submitted, for example, on a per faculty or per project basis (one per form).
As of 4/3/2024 we have no more funds available for the 2023-2024 academic year.
2024-2025 academic year only requestors can be faculty, students, or staff. View the 2024-2025 CET funding request form
NEW EQUIPMENT REQUESTS: Once a term the Dean's Office will send an inquiry to all academic departments about their new equipment needs (sans equipment that is already built in to the new engineering building). These requests do not have a capped dollar amount. The request for spring 2024 was sent on 1/19/2024 via email to department chairs (who were to share it with all full time faculty) and was placed on the Teams CET channel for all to see . Please also review all of the information below.
NEW EQUIPMENT REQUESTS (CLOSED FOR SPRING 2024, SEE DATES BELOW)
We are using items from last year that were not funded as a starting point:
Review the current list of incoming equipment requests for spring 2024 (living document)
Additions: Add a new equipment request not already on the above list. Now closed for spring 2024, see dates below.
Removals or modifications: Contact Anne Arendt, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, if you have items you wish to have removed or modified.
OUR SITUATION
As you can see from the above list, we have at least three million dollars of new equipment requests (see the “summary” tab for approximate amounts by department).
For this academic term we have between $30,000 and $50,000 in total for all of the college that we can allocate for new equipment. Remember, we are in a budget freeze and have no new incoming money from the institution (such as PBA) nor legislature (such as engineering initiative).
While it paints a sparse situation for this term for acquiring new equipment, if something is not on the list it will not be considered at all nor will it be in discussions of our growing equipment needs. So, please ensure the list is accurate.
