The Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science extends its thanks and appreciation to Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) and Intel for their generous contributions to the Maseeh College. 

“The Maseeh College appreciates our partnerships with DTNA and Intel and the support both companies have given the College. Their contributions will allow the College to increase the quality of the education our students receive,” states Interim Dean Richard Knight. “In addition to the financial support, DTNA and Intel provide research opportunities for our students and faculty and company representatives serve on the College’s Advisory Board. It is with deep gratitude that we say thank you to Daimler Trucks North America and Intel.”  

DTNA has generously invested in the DTNA Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, which will allow the College to equip the Laboratory with state-of-the-art work stations and systems that will allow our students to experience a true hands-on engineering education. The DTNA Fluid Mechanics Laboratory supports students who are pursing degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering. Undergraduate fluid mechanic classes are at historic highs reflecting the popularity and growth of undergraduate engineering at PSU. DTNA’s gift will allow the College to accommodate the increase in student enrollment. 

Intel’s contribution will support the College’s Department of Computer Science Capstone Laboratory and the Systems and Networking Laboratory. Both laboratories will receive equipment upgrades to improve the hands-on education students receive in computer science.  

The Computer Science Capstone Laboratory is used by every student pursuing an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and will be named the Intel Computer Science Capstone Laboratory, in recognition of Intel’s gift. The Systems and Networking Laboratory is used for a variety of activities including the Saturday Academy high school program, high school science fair projects, undergraduate and graduate education and research in the areas of systems, networking and security, and research collaborations with Intel employees.

Both gifts are eligible to be matched by state of Oregon matching funds designated for the Northwest Center for Engineering, Science and Technology.
