Giving Opportunities
When you give to the Faculty of Engineering you have the option of giving to an area of your choice. Below are some of our current priority areas and information on other giving opportunities.
Engineering our Next Generation (ENG) Endowment Fund
The Engineering Our Next Generation fund – or the ENG Fund – is the beginning of something truly special at the Faculty of Engineering. It is a single, large-scale endowment fund that creates life-changing opportunities for our undergraduate students now and forever. It supports beyond the classroom experiences and invests in the leaders and problem solvers who will build our future. The ENG Fund ensures the faculty is ready to help our students seize exciting opportunities as they arise, and has the flexibility to support different student projects and initiatives from year to year. The only thing that doesn't change is its 'big impact' results.
DiscoverE Endowment Fund
DiscoverE is a student-delivered initiative of the Faculty of Engineering. Their programs use hands-on, interactive learning to help children and youth from across Alberta and the Northwest Territories fall in love with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Your gift will help DiscoverE reach more than 26,000 children and youth each year through camps, workshops, clubs, and numerous special events and supporting an endowed fund means you are building a sustainable and financially secure future for this amazing organization. Learn more about the impact your gift to DiscoverE.
David and Joan Lynch School of Engineering Safety & Risk Management Endowment Fund
When you give to the David and Joan Lynch School you are creating a culture of engineering safety and risk management (ESRM) that will make our world a safer place. This school is the first of its kind in Canada and prepares students to meet the need and demand for risk assessment and risk management in engineering. Your gift will support education and research grounded in best ESRM practices, leading to safer processes, structures, infrastructures, and systems.
