In Honor of Mr. Donald Mosing

The College of Engineering is mourning the loss of a great Alumnus and supporter, Mr. Donald Mosing.

Mr. Mosing graduated in 1950 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.  He was a generous supporter of the College of Engineering and his memory is forever etched in our halls. His legacy continues in several of the programs he supported including but not limited to the following:

The Frank and Jessie Mosing Endowed Engineering Student Career Development Program, named in honor of Mr. Mosing’s parents - created the Coordinator position which manages:

The Designing Leaders Program - Fashioned after “Leadership Lafayette,” focusing on teaching leadership skills and exposing students to ‘real world’ engineering.

The Engineering Ambassadors Program - engineering student volunteers learn how to interact with industry representatives and recruit potential engineering students.

The Engineering Outreach Program - educates high school and community college students about career opportunities in engineering.

The Engineering Lecture Series - brings industry experts and university leaders to present one to three formal lectures yearly to students, faculty and community members.

The Frank’s CAD Student Education Laboratory – used for engineering analysis, finite element analysis, and other computer intensive courses.

The Frank’s International Geotechnical-Hydraulics laboratory – which gives students hands-on opportunities to study the fundamental geotechnical material properties of soil samples and flow characteristics for analyzing hydraulics (important in flood control.)

The Donald & Janice Mosing BORSF Endowed Chair in Mechanical Engineering and the Mosing Family Scholarships.

In addition, gifts from Mr. Donald made possible the acquisition of laboratory equipment and an autonomous RobotX boat for the College of Engineering, among others.

Mr. Mosing was not only a great supporter of the College, he was a friend as well.

Fly high Mr. Donald and keep watch over our college.
