CEAS on the Cutting Edge
As technology
advances, so does the challenge of providing state-of-the art equipment
for research and teaching. Private gifts of cash and of usable, high
quality equipment bring industry standards to laboratories, the latest
hardware and software in computer-aided design, and other cutting-edge
research. Many new program initiatives get their start with seed money
from the Dean derived from unrestricted gifts or those designated for
a special department or program.
