The Leungs have always been strong supporters of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, providing travel grants to ECE faculty and the Brian and Sophie Leung Merit Scholarship for undergraduates. This award was established to encourage students to think creatively and to undertake projects beyond the usual classroom and laboratory activities. The projects must include significant technical creativity.
Entrepreneurial initiative is encouraged.
The student team may include up to three students and must be led by a student from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Both undergraduate and graduate students may be involved. The project must be supervised by a faculty member. The nominal funding period is two years, although, depending on merit, it can be extended. Shorter periods are also acceptable.
