“The TSU CoETCS provided me an excellent engineering education and well-prepared me to compete with the engineering graduates from other well-know universities in corporate America. The academic environment on the TSU CoETCS was highly competitive, but highly supportive with faculty and staff that truly cared for the students and their success”
“The TSU CoETCS Alumni Endowment is critical to assure the long-term success of the college and its future students. With state funding decreasing annually and corporate research dollars tightening, it is imperative that the alumni and those sympathetic to the mission and cause of the TSU CoETCS, financially support the college. We have to give so that the future of the College of Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science is assured, so that other deserving female and minority student have access to the best engineering education that money can buy”
