Develop a budget plan for foundations funds and actively seek funding from external sources Establish a software fund Establish endowed foundations for professorships and specific programs as appropriate The goal of establishing and maintaining at least one foundation account for each program has been met. The CMGT, EET, MET, and SHM Programs all have one or more foundation accounts in place. A few of the accounts, particularly the larger ones, are endowed but most are not. Each of these accounts has enjoyed a fairly steady level of donations that continue to grow the size of the accounts. The two programs that do not have foundation accounts are the Technology Education and Industrial Technology Programs. The nature of these two programs is such that they do not or cannot attract sizeable donations from their associated career fields. In these two cases, there is more work to do to accomplish this goal. The goal of actively seeking external funding for foundation accounts has been greatly helped by the participation of the University Advancement Office and the Development Officer for the College of Education and Professional Studies (CEPS). In addition to the regular program for giving, we have mounted a successful program of naming spaces in Hogue Hall in return for a sizeable donation to support departmental programs. Approximately $310,000 has been raised for student and program support through this effort. Funding to support updating and maintaining computer software used in IET departmental courses has been increased significantly over the past few Student fees tied directly to courses using computers, increased levels of support from the university Information Technology Services budget, and cost-sharing of software expenses with the Facilities Management Department on campus have all been used to increase the level of support for this important need. Most recently, a modest technology fee ($5) attached to all departmental courses has been requested in an effort to keep the best hardware and software in front of the students. Finally, one endowed foundation account for a professorship and associated program improvement has been established using matching state funds in the Construction Management Program. Endowed professorships are difficult to come by, and we don’t expect to endow a professorship in every program in the near future. However, we continue to pursue this goal as opportunities arise. The current of higher education support requires every department in the university develop a diversified funding base to better support their academic and
