Acquiring Parts: Project Funding Sources & Purchasing

 

Interdisciplinary

For Interdisciplinary teams with ECE participants, ECE funds the ECE components via the procedures described for ECE below, and the non-ECEs' home School funds for the non-ECE components. If this does not facilitate your team's scenario, please contact Professor Bruno Frazier for elaboration.

 

ECE

Students Pay If students want to keep their project, then students pay for it or replace what ECE may have purchased. (Yes, you can collect some inexpensive expendables from our labs.)

Sponsors Pay If yours is a sponsored project, you can proceed as described below, but discuss funding mechanics with your Advisor as details may vary per sponsored project.

ECE Pays If ECE is supplying it, possibilities include

ECE Stocks

Check first with ECE laboratory staff to learn if we have in stock what you need. (We have more than you may think.)

You may collect small expendables or be loaned more expensive items.

2022 Spring ECE Laboratory staff are Kevin Ferri and James Steinberg

You may ask ECE Laboratory staff to make purchases for your team employing their procedures.

ECE no longer supports the reimbursement model enacted during early COVID to facilitate remote participants.

Purchases by ECE Laboratory Staff

Laboratory staff will be contacting teams via email to provide their purchasing procedures.

 

Note that

Most of these constraints are to honor the Institute's business practices and to be good stewards of the State of Georgia's resources.

If Georgia Tech pays for it, it needs to end up back with Georgia Tech before we can release grades.

We have laboratory and design project supplies stocked on the van Leer third floor labs with much available for loan to Senior Design teams.
