About

A week leading up to National Coffee Day, we’re challenging our ECE alumni community to participate in the Brew Brighter Futures campaign.

Instead of buying coffee at a café, make your cup at home and consider donating what you would have spent to support ECE. A gift of just $10 or more can help make a real difference.

With more than 21,000 ECE alumni around the world, our community has tremendous power when we come together. If even a small portion of alumni participate, the collective impact will be significant.

Your support helps create opportunities that shape the next generation of engineers and innovators. Gifts to the ECE Fund helps support:

  • undergraduate research
  • student awards
  • faculty recruitment
  • lab and equipment upgrades
  • financial aid to students facing unexpected emergencies

A cup of coffee lasts a few minutes. Your gift can help create opportunities that last a lifetime

Imagine your gift as an ECE specialty brew:

  • Diode Drip ($10) This ultra-smooth drip brew delivers energy in one direction, straight to you! Enjoy a clean, consistent flow of bold coffee flavor that keeps you powered up and running efficiently all day.
  • Circuit Cappuccino ($20) Jolt your morning routine with this perfectly balanced cappuccino. Frothed to precision, it’s the smooth connection between espresso and milk that keeps your circuits running at peak efficiency
  • JavaScript Latte ($40) A dynamic blend of robust espresso and silky steamed milk, the JavaScript Latte is layered with just the right amount of sweetness and topped with a sprinkle of creativity, this latte keeps you caffeinated and ready to debug all day long
  • Microchip Mocha ($100) Get wired with our decadent mocha, where rich chocolate flavors and robust coffee interlace like the finest microchip traces.
  • AI Americano ($200) Experience next-level processing power with this bold Americano. Sleek, intelligent, and always on-trend, it’s the go-to beverage for anyone running complex algorithms or just a busy day.

Are you ready to make a difference? Thank you a latte supporting ECE!
