Dear Dr. Sellens,
[Company Name] is pleased to be involved with the MECH 460 Conceive &
Design course at Queen’s University, Department of Mechanical and Materials
Engineering. We propose a project to [brief description of project objectives].
[Company Name] is committed to an in-kind contribution of $1800 in engineering
support time (12 hours over 12 weeks at $150 / hour), to allow students to have
contact with engineers and engineering technologists while working on a project
of interest to our Company. If this project is judged by the company to be cost
effective and continues on to the prototyping and testing phase of MECH 462, we
understand that the expectation is for the company to cover material, equipment
and fabrication costs, if they become significant. Details of any additional in-kind
or cash contribution for MECH 462 will be the subject of discussion in January.
We look forward to the opportunity of working together on this project.
Sincerely,
