Budget: * (A financial committment of $2500 is requested for a project team. An additional $1250 is requested per team, for additional teams working on the same project. This is support for an education experience, no guarantees can be made of project outcomes, other than a "Best Effort" outcome. Students are provided a working budget of $1000 to cover direct expenses. The remainder of the donation covers overhead expenses of the Industrial Engineering Labs (supplies, equipment replacement, teaching assistant wages, etc.). Additional funds may be required from the sponsor for specialized equipment, other unique project expenses, or for intellectual property ownership rights. Please check below to acknowledge your understanding of project budgets.

I understand that $2500 is requested for one project team and $1250 is requested for each additional team working on the same project.
