	Quality-Offer outstanding undergraduate engineering and computing programs.
	Uniqueness-Offer distinct undergraduate engineering and computing programs among Ohio universities.
	Recognition-Gain recognition for faculty research and master's-level graduate education, while becoming one of the 10 best engineering and applied science schools in the nation with an emphasis on undergraduate education.

A New Home for Engineering
$5 million
In anticipation of a 50 percent increase in the number of Engineering students, Miami has a new Engineering Complex. The new home for the School of Engineering and Applied Science -- a 90,000 square-foot complex with a projected overall cost of $24 million – is part of a new science and engineering quad on High Street. The improvements include renovation of Benton Hall, which is connected to the new complex through a skywalk.

Support for Students
$3.5 million
The addition of new majors is projected to increase the School's enrollment from 800 to at least 1,200 students within the next five years. Endowed scholarship support will be critical in helping the School reach its enrollment goals.

Endowed Faculty Chairs
$3.5 million
The School seeks to establish two endowed senior faculty positions to provide salary, benefits, graduate assistants, and a professional travel stipend equal to those funded at other prestigious institutions.

Technology and Equipment
$4.5 million
The School's classrooms and laboratories need to be outfitted with modern equipment and technology. The School seeks funds to equip its facilities and continuously renew its technologies to prepare students to succeed. Objectives include a two-story, high-bay space for crane construction, robotics, and access to rooftop satellite receivers and high-frequency communications equipment.

Special Projects and Unrestricted Support
$3.5 million
Unrestricted support provides critical resources to address immediate needs. It enables the School to fund strategic initiatives quickly as it builds endowment.
