Senior Design Program Spring 2005

Application Form for Project Support

Instructions:

The timely submission of this form will allow your 498 Senior Design project to be considered for financial support to cover some or all of the equipment, materials and software expenses for your project. Applications will be reviewed by the senior design faculty and evaluated on the basis of need and potential of the project. No assessment will be made of the project’s design, worthiness, or any other criteria that may be used in the formal judging process of the projects at the end of the semester. Funding allocation and amounts is at the discretion of the senior design faculty and decisions are final. Not all projects may receive funding and not all projects may receive the same amount of funding, dependent upon the need and potential of the projects overall. The allocation or non-allocation of funding should not be interpreted as an assessment of the likelihood of a project’s success in the senior design competition at the end of the semester. No consideration will be made for expenses that fall outside the three categories outlined; e.g., expenses such as mileage, labor or meals will not be reimbursed.

Deadline for submission of this application is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, February 22, 2005. No exceptions will be made to this deadline. Your application should be submitted electronically or in a hard-copy format to your senior design instructor by the deadline. Please limit your application to two pages (excluding any attached vendor quotes). Formatting changes are permitted, but all information requested must be provided. Applications will be reviewed promptly and allocated funding will be available through your department soon after the evaluation is complete. Questions regarding the application or process are welcomed and should be addressed to your senior design instructor.

Thank you for your participation in this process!
