Michigan Online Giving:   

How to Give

The College of Engineering created a video to thank the countless donors, both large and small, that have contributed to making Michigan a world-class research and educational institution.

This video showcases some of the research that happens here in EECS. You'll see students working in the new Lurie Nanofabrication Facility, which supports a significant portion of the research in the Solid-State Electronics Laboratory. Students are conducting antenna pattern and radar system evaluations in the Anechoic Chamber. You'll see evidence of the significant robotics research being conducted here, chip design and VLSI, solar cells and solid-state lighting, and work in integrated microsystems. The backdrop for the announcer is the Computer Science and Engineering Building (dedicated in 2005), the central hub for all activities in computer science.

Thank you Michigan Alumni and generous donors for passing on your gifts to the next generation. We couldn't do it without YOU – GO BLUE!!!


The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has a long and distinguished history, graduating individuals who have truly transformed the society in which we live. Alumni who have graduated from EECS programs include Claude E. Shannon (Father of Information Theory), Larry Page (co-founder of Google), Bill Joy (co-founder of Sun Microsystems), Lee Boysel (inventor of the first single-chip CPU microprocessor), and Tony Fadell (creator of the iPod). Countless others have gone on to change their portions of the world, and are improving the technology that improves lives. To date, approximately 20,000 U-M alumni have received their degree from an EECS discipline.

Your gift will help ensure a continued legacy of excellence as today's students become ever more aware of their responsibility to improve the world through their education, ingenuity, and energy.

Become an important part of the EECS family and legacy by contributing financially, and/or offering your talents.

Following are some of the ways you can support the students and programs of EECS.

Gifts to Established Funds Within the Department

Enhancement Funds - support a wide variety of programs and activities within the Department through an unrestricted gift.

ECE Enhancement Fund: to support programs in Electrical and Computer Engineering

CSE Enhancement Fund: to support programs in Computer Science and Engineering

Graduate Student Fellowships - support our students by contributing to an existing Graduate Fellowship Fund. Your gift is essential to attracting the very best students to Michigan. Until $20M in allocated funds have been exhausted, any gifts made to such an account will be matched 1:2 ($1 for every $2 contributed) by University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman.
Please READ MORE about this special President's Challenge for graduate student support.

ECE Fellowship Challenge Fund: to support graduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering programs.

CSE Fellowship Challenge Fund: to support graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering programs.

Bernie A. Galler Fellowship Fund: to support graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering

George I. and Mary N. Haddad Fellowship Fund: to support graduate students in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering:Systems, and Computer Science and Engineering.

Student Projects, Activities & Awards - Support our undergraduate students who are engaged in a variety of academic team projects and activities. Help recognize our top undergraduate students in an annual awards program by establishing an annual award fund that rewards top achievers in scholarship, research, service, and entrepreneurship.

ECE Student Projects, Activities & Awards: to support students in EE and CE

CSE Student Projects, Activities & Awards: to support students in CE and CS

Arjun Chandran Memorial Fund - This fund will provide an annual prize to a graduate student studying VLSI.

Establishing New Endowments

Endowment accounts allows your gift to exist in perpetuity. If you would like to establish a new endowment fund, or discuss your gift with the department, please contact Catharine June (cmsj@umich.edu, or, 734-936-2965), who will get you in touch with the appropriate individual.
