Grainger Foundation Gives $5 Million to ECE Power Engineering Program

The electrical power engineering programs at Illinois Institute of Technology continue to expand their facilities and enrollment thanks to ongoing support from The Grainger Foundation of Lake Forest, Ill. The ECE department recently received a $5 million gift from the foundation to help inspire students in the United States to become interested in electrical power engineering. The generous donation also will allow the ECE department to continue to attract well-qualified students into power engineering professions.
The Grainger Foundation has supported power initiatives including scholarship funding and facility development at the university for more than two decades. Scholarships funded by past Grainger gifts have resulted in more than double the number of students dedicating their engineering focus to issues of power and sustainability. Full Article
