The family of mechanical engineering alum Craig M. Berge made a memorial gift to foster a vision for the College of Engineering to lead the way in solving challenges through engineering. Since 2017, the Berges’  gift has funded the College of Engineering’s four-year design program and an endowed chair for the dean. David W. Hahn, the Craig M. Berge Dean, created a fellowship in 2020 to support selected faculty in education and research efforts.

Craig M. Berge Faculty Fellows are named to three-year terms and receive $8,000 per year. Six faculty members became fellows when the 2024 fiscal year began.
