College of Engineering
Empower Aggie Engineers to continue our tradition of making a difference in the world.

Community. Support. Collaboration. Inclusive. Aggies helping Aggies.

These are the words and themes our Aggie Engineers gave us when we asked them what makes the College of Engineering such a special place.

Our college is an inclusive, collaborative community, bringing diverse perspectives together to engineer a better world for all.

Help us invest in engineering a better world for all by contributing to your home department. When you click the Give button at the top of the page, select your department's name in the dropdown menu for Fund Designation. 

You can also support one of our three exceptional student groups/programs: American Society of Civil Engineer's Environmental Project, Space and Satellite Systems and the Student Startup Center. 

Scroll down for our challenge gifts and unlock even more support for our engineering community. 

A gift to any of these areas strengthens the relationship Aggie Engineers have with each other and helps to shape their experiences in creating solutions to the world's greatest challenges.

So whether you're passionate about hands-on experience, design opportunities, entrepreneurship, or that special spirit of Aggies helping Aggies, your gift on Give Day helps support it all!
