On September 17 ECE honored 90 students at an undergraduate scholarship ceremony luncheon for donors, recipients, faculty and staff in the Donald E. Cheney Room. These funds are made available each year through individual and trust fund donations directly to the ECE department as well as to the College of Engineering. These top students were selected from 120 applicants and scholarships totaled over $150,000. These scholarships would not have been possible without the generous support of our donors. A heart felt thanks to all of you who made it possible to recognize these outstanding ECE students! In addition, 11 graduate and 10 undergraduate Grainger Outstanding Power Engineering Student Awards were presented at an April banquet.
