Together, with our alumni and community partners, we can create new ways to solve problems.
We can generate knowledge and develop ethical and socially responsible engineering leaders who contribute to the betterment of society. We can quickly adapt to rapidly advancing technologies and address unforeseen challenges, whenever or wherever they arise, such as a global pandemic .
Our supporters help shape our students’ academic journey and enable us to deliver a high-quality, hands-on engineering education while developing technologies that improve our lives.
Since 2010, when construction began on our state-of-the-art Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation, enrolment in engineering has more than doubled. Faculty members now teach and mentor more than 1,400 undergraduate and 1,700 graduate students.
Investments in our strategic funding priorities, outlined below, will advance innovative engineering research, enrich the student experience and allow us to continue to grow our expanding engineering programs.
Thank you for joining us in our vision as we continue to help our students become socially aware and responsible contributors to society.
Our Priorities
In response to the growing needs of the Faculty of Engineering amid the COVID-19 crisis, we have established the UWindsor Engineering COVID-19 Action Fund. With your donations, we can promptly direct funds where they are needed most to respond to the crisis in real time.
Funding will support time-critical research, help students who are experiencing hardships and maximize curriculum resources for online distance learning.
The world will continue to face enormous challenges for the foreseeable future as a result of the pandemic. Engineers are essential to finding innovative solutions to problems that are critical to society.
Support COVID-19 research and engineering students today by
making a donation to this Action Fund
and advance the most promising and urgent funding priorities in these areas.
Our faculty, departments, and graduate students are developing creative engineering solutions for challenges faced by today’s society. Make an impact by supporting advanced research. Select one of our innovative research groups or projects, or further invest in endowed Research Chairs to build on our existing strengths and provide enhanced training, unique expertise and international perspectives for our students, faculty, industrial partners, community, and beyond.
Investing in state-of-the-art laboratories ensures that students are learning with the most advanced technology and equipment. Bringing theory into practice, such hands-on learning and experiential education activities as capstone design projects help students gain the skills they need to successfully transition to industry.
Undergraduate and graduate scholarships attract top students, financial awards recognize student leaders, and bursaries assist those with financial need. By investing in scholarships, you will help engineering students succeed and reach their full potential.
Gifts to the Dean’s Innovation Fund are undesignated to support projects with the greatest funding need, in real time, to foster innovation. This unique funding opportunity allows us to be proactive to challenges and opportunities as they arise. Donations will support all engineering departments, programs, infrastructure, and extracurricular student groups, including the Engineering Student Society, Women in Engineering, Engineers Without Borders, and more!
