The Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science extends its
thanks and appreciation to Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) and Intel for
their generous contributions to the Maseeh College.
“The Maseeh College appreciates our partnerships with DTNA and Intel
and the support both companies have given the College. Their contributions will allow the College to
increase the quality of the education our students receive,” states Interim
Dean Richard Knight. “In addition to the
financial support, DTNA and Intel provide research opportunities for our
students and faculty and company representatives serve on the College’s
Advisory Board. It is with deep
gratitude that we say thank you to Daimler Trucks North America and
Intel.”
DTNA has generously invested in the DTNA Fluid Mechanics Laboratory,
which will allow the College to equip the Laboratory with state-of-the-art work
stations and systems that will allow our students to experience a true hands-on
engineering education. The DTNA Fluid
Mechanics Laboratory supports students who are pursing degrees in Civil and Mechanical
Engineering. Undergraduate fluid
mechanic classes are at historic highs reflecting the popularity and growth of
undergraduate engineering at PSU. DTNA’s
gift will allow the College to accommodate the increase in student
enrollment.
Intel’s contribution will support the College’s Department of Computer
Science Capstone Laboratory and the Systems and Networking
Laboratory. Both laboratories will receive equipment upgrades to
improve the hands-on education students receive in computer science.
The Computer Science Capstone Laboratory is used by every student
pursuing an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and will be named the
Intel Computer Science Capstone Laboratory, in recognition of Intel’s
gift. The Systems and Networking Laboratory is used for a variety
of activities including the Saturday Academy high school program, high school
science fair projects, undergraduate and graduate education and research in the
areas of systems, networking and security, and research collaborations with
Intel employees.
Both gifts are eligible to be matched by state of Oregon matching funds
designated for the Northwest Center for Engineering, Science and
Technology.
