The College of Engineering of University of Tennessee in Knoxville, the college, now in its 177th year, is making the drive to secure its continued success and has raised $101 million of the target since the effort informally kicked off in 2012. The campaign also serves as a way for the college to emphasize its value to the university, the region, and the state. While the goal itself is unprecedented for the college, the effects of reaching it will be both immediate and long-lasting. Money being raised through the campaign has gone to scholarships, faculty endowments and professorships, laboratory spaces, and building renovations and improvements. It’s part of an overall push by UT toward becoming a Top 25 public university that has seen the college add both the John D. Tickle Engineering Building and the Min H. Kao Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building, renovate large portions of both the Nathan W. Dougherty Engineering Building and Perkins Hall, and plan for a nuclear engineering building more befitting of that department’s Top 5 national status.
