Ever wonder what the extra $20 Enrichment Fee was that was added to your tuition bills this past semester?

Each engineering student pays toward a fund that is obligated to better the student's experience by means of improving the education and study environment of the college. To put it another way: This money is for you to use improve the college to fit your needs!

A student from each department is represented in this University of Wyoming Engineering Fund for Enrichment (UWEFE). Each proposal is reviewed by the student committee and may be granted funding after a majority vote. Awarded proposals include:

• $3962.00 approved - Students to attend the Society of Petroleum Engineers Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in Anaheim, California.
• $1455.17 approved - Students to attend the American Institute of Chemical Engineers National Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
• $1776.00 approved - Support of a tutoring program for COSC 1010 and COSC 1030.
• $3000.00 approved - Students to attend the GreenBuild International Conference and Expo in Chicago, Illinois.
• $1107.00 approved - Students to attend the Annual American Meteorological Society meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
• $2000.00 approved - Students to attend a Shell Drilling and Production Camp in New Orleans, Louisiana.
  
  $13300.17 TOTAL student support

Equipment

• $1504.50 approved - Laboratory equipment support for a new course in Industrial Control.
• $376.08 approved - Additional costs for the Tutoring Office (Room EN 2110) improvements.
  
  $1880.58 TOTAL equipment support

The fund was created to adhere to the interests of the students. We are currently accepting proposals from any student, student society, faculty, or staff member who has ideas to better the College of Engineering and Applied Science.

Proposals are available online here.

Proposals may be turned in at the Dean's office anytime.
Think of some good ideas and submit them to the UWEFE today!

Thank You,
UWEFE Council

Call for Proposals:

Any College of Engineering and Applied Science student, faculty, staff, or student society may make a formal proposal to request funds from the UWEFE. The UWEFE Council (consisting of nine students - one undergraduate representing each of the undergraduate programs in the college plus one graduate student) will make the final decisions regarding fund dispersal.

Before requesting funds from the UWEFE Council, it is expected that the organization or individual making the request has first investigated other sources for funding, such as the ASUW Finance Appropriations Committee (for conference registration fees) or the individual departments that support the event. In addition, requests for matching funds should be pursued. After pursuing other funding sources and securing matching funds, prepare a funding request and present it to the UWEFE Council.

For a request to be considered by the UWEFE Council it must meet the following requirements:

• Funds must be used in a manner that will benefit a large number of engineering students.
• Funds must be used in a manner that will include multiple disciplines where feasible.
• The amount of funds requested should be itemized and accurately portrayed to the best of the requester's knowledge.
• Proposals requesting funds must be submitted and presented to the UWEFE Council at least one month in advance of their use.
• If funds are to be used between June and October, the request should be made by the final UWEFE Council hearing for the spring semester.

• Submit a detailed UWEFE Grant form, including a complete budget, matching funds either secured or possible, answers to the questions listed below, and a timeline for completion of the project to Dr. Whitman.
• Contact your 2007-2008 UWEFE Council representative with questions or concerns:
• Architectural Engineering - Chris Askin - chrisa@uwyo.edu
• Chemical Engineering - Nick Stuckert - nstuckere@uwyo.edu
• Civil Engineering - Tyrel Soukup - tsoukup@uwyo.edu
• Computer Engineering - Adam Rumph - aqrumph@uwyo.edu
• Computer Science - Brandon Catalano - bracat@uwyo.edu
• Electrical Engineering - Robb Grogan - dosmahi@uwyo.edu
• Mechanical Engineering - Jim Harlan - jarlan@uwyo.edu
• Petroleum Engineering - David Johnson - djons65@uwyo.edu
• Graduate Students - Sera Bargo - sbargo@uwyo.edu
• Attend and present the proposal to a hearing of the UWEFE Council.
• If the sponsor of the proposal does not attend and present their proposal, the UWEFE Council will table the proposal until the next hearing.

• What is the benefit to the college as a whole?
• Is there extended use to the college?
• Is this the first time the college will be represented at the event?
• What available options/alternatives have been explored?
• What personal investments (such as time and money) will the students be making?
