Roger Kieckhafer Computer Engineering Scholarship
Professor Roger Kieckhafer was an inventor, engineer, researcher, educator, veteran and valued faculty member of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He died on Friday, July 17, 2020, in a tragic vehicle-bicycle accident. The scholarship will be awarded annually to support students majoring in computer engineering, with a GPA between 2.5 and 3.5, and have a demonstrated financial need.
Optics and Photonics Scholarship
The scholarship was set up by alumnus Eustace Dereniak. Dereniak is a professor emeritus of optical sciences and electrical and computer engineering at the University of Arizona, as well as a past president of the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). SPIE has offered to match dollar-for-dollar any contributions to the scholarship fund, up to $60,000.
Electrical Energy Resource Center Renovation Fund
The Electrical Energy Resource Center (EERC) Renovation Fund was started by alumnus David House. He has given $150K to start the renovations, but we could still benefit from your help. Your assistance will keep our facilities some of the best in the nation.
