UW Tier-1 Engineering Initiative Appreciation
Thank
you to the Task Force, alumni and champions for your vision to propel
the College of Engineering and Applied Science to the realms of
excellence in instruction, research and service. We appreciate your
support!
A Call to Excellence
In May 2012, Governor Mead, the State Legislature and the Wyoming Governor’s Energy, Engineering, STEM Integration Task Force articulated a vision to propel the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) and the University of Wyoming (UW) to the realms of excellence in instruction, research and service. UW’s leadership, faculty and staff are committed to this vision; and equally important, UW’s industry partners have embraced this vision and will help actualize it.
On March 5, Governor Mead and the Wyoming State Legislature approved biennium funding of $8 million for Phase 1 of the Engineering Initiative, in addition to the $18.4 million for facilities development.
The faculty, staff and students of the College of Engineering and Applied Science are most grateful for this support. We also appreciate greatly the wisdom and dedication of the Task Force members and so many of our alumni and champions, who guided this effort and helped make it happen. We are honored by their vote of confidence and will strive to fulfill our collective ambition of becoming a Tier-1 institution.

What is a TIer-1 university?
A Tier-1 university is a nationally recognized institution of academic excellence and world-class research.
$6 Million Collaboration
The University of Wyoming and Halliburton, a leading oil field services company, are collaborating to construct a major new UW energy and engineering research complex. Halliburton is gifting $2 million to support the construction and is funding $1 million for research into unconventional reservoirs.
Undergraduate Engineering Scholars Program
We are seeking outstanding students interested in being mentored in research and scholarship. The Scholarship will provide $6,000 of annual funding to help cover the cost of tuition, room and board. Apply for the Scholarship today!
Research that Matters
Research by college faculty and students touch every facet of people's lives around the world, including new advances in robotics, innovative ways to enhance energy development, improving composite materials for industry, increasing our understanding of weather and its influence on the world, and building the cities of tomorrow.
