The School of Engineering is one of the top five Schools of Engineering in the UK and one of the top 100 Schools of Engineering in the world (Times World University Rankings 2020). Our mission is to foster outstanding learning and scholarship, to enhance the scientific, cultural and economic wellbeing of society through the discipline of engineering, and to pursue and perform research of the highest quality.
We want our alumni to play an active part in helping the School realise its aims, and there are many ways that our alumni can support us, from mentoring students to providing career placement opportunities, volunteering on one of our committees or by making a gift.
Our current fundraising priority is student experience. We want to ensure that our students have the best experience possible studying Engineering at Edinburgh, and have created the Engineering Student Innovation Fund to help our students achieve this.
The Engineering Student Innovation Fund
The Engineering Student Innovation Fund helps bridge the gap between our students’ dreams and reality, by supporting innovative student projects that range in scope from investigating green ways to power local charities, building rockets, creating Formula racing cars and researching satellite technology . If you’d like to support our students, you can make a single or regular donation to the Engineering Student Innovation Fund, which supports student project work for student teams of all sizes engaged in a wide range of activity, including rocketry, satellite technology, Hyperloop research and development and designing AI cars.
