Pratt School of Engineering
From the 2006-07 Development Annual Report:
2006-07 Cash Total: $14M
The Pratt School of Engineering received significant support for faculty chairs and undergraduate scholarships and for the Annual Fund, which played a vital role in funding service projects, student aid, and other priorities. Construction began on "The Home Depot Smart Home," a live-in laboratory where students can research new residential technologies. This project is part of the school's increased emphasis on experiential and collaborative learning at the undergraduate level. The school is now in the early stages of planning a new building that will facilitate this model of teaching and learning. Fund-raising for experiential learning programs is a priority for 2007-08, along with endowment and Annual Fund support.
