UTC Donates $20K to the Mechanical Engineering Mechatronics Design Center
On October 3, 2002 Ivelisse Muñoz, from UTC Fuel Cells, ’92 alumna of our ME Department, and member of our Industrial Advisory Board, presented a check for $20K to the Department for the development of the Mechatronics Design Center. The newly created Center provides support to undergraduate as well as graduate students including laboratory activities for
the courses INME 4009 and INME 4031. In addition, the center will host summer camps for high school students and will provide other services to the community.
