Over the last several years, about 30% of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department operational budget has come from contributions from our alumni. Your support has helped us develop two new laboratories, upgrade one of the most important facilities in the ECE Department, and give the gift of education to about 40 students each year through scholarships. The "Alumni Support 2005" link provides a complete list of alumni contributions and its impact on our department in the last couple of years.

Ask what your UMaine education means to you and how you can help the next generation of UMaine graduates with your gift.

Your gift can make a tremendous difference in the education, career, and life of young people. We will permanently place a placard in our department acknowledging each gift of $1,000 or more. A gift of $75,000 would allow us to endow a department laboratory in the donor's name and ensure that the lab is upgraded for generations to come.

You can also establish a scholarship under your name or that of a loved one with as little as $10,000. Please visit the "Contributing to Scholarships or Awards" page for more information on setting up an endowed account or helping the department.

You can also make your check payable to the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and send it to:
