The Board of Allocators accepts proposals from all undergraduate engineering students and faculty members. All proposals are considered, provided they benefit undergraduate engineering education at Carleton University. This does not mean that all proposals will be funded. Funding is allocated once during the Fall and Winter academic terms. All proposals should be created and submitted using the proposal guide below. Once submitted online, the proposal will be reviewed by the CUESEF board, approved and may be posted on the website as an example. You will receive a confirmation email once your proposal has been submitted. A new draft and consultation period has been formalized. Until the closing date the board will provide feedback on proposals within 48hrs of submission through email. Meetings can also be scheduled by emailing the chair directly.<\/p>\n
If you have any feedback please fill out the following form. When making a proposal it is important to provide detail of what you are requesting and the purpose. Specifics are required over a general blanket proposal where a single sum of money is requested for multiple items with little description. In general, if there is a need, it\u2019s worth a proposal. But remember, it\u2019s up to you to convince the Board of Allocators of the worthiness of your proposal. The CUESEF Board wants to make educated decisions, this necessitates comprehensive and informative applications. Some questions to make clear are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n Each proposal should seek to upgrade 1 lab room, but can (should) be an upgrade to as many courses as possible. Multiple applications may be submitted per person in order to request funding for multiple rooms per funding period. The order of submitting multiple applications will have no effect on the board\u2019s decision of which is most meritorious. Larger, more expensive items can also be allocated funds over multiple terms in order to be purchased, however you will have to re-apply each term, reusing the older proposal with any necessary updates each subsequent time.<\/span><\/p>\n Each tier is treated like its own application and should include everything you\u2019d need to operate the lab and whatever is applicable from the levels below (e.g. you need 3 oscilloscopes to run the lab but would like a function generator. In the application you\u2019d have the 3 oscilloscopes under required for the lab to run and then the 3 oscilloscopes along with the function generator under better lab upgrade). A proposal featuring multiple tiers of partial funding demonstrates the work and intention of your request and considered more favourable to the board. This does not lessen your chances of obtaining full funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Requests for Payment must be submitted (including original receipts) within 4 months of the date of purchase. All proposals must follow Carleton\u2019s <\/span>Procurement Policy<\/span><\/a>; including BOBIA, competitive bidding, and any other processes they have mandated.<\/span><\/p>\n The two templates to use and populate for each application can be found here<\/a>. Both should be downloaded and used for submitting your application without modifying the template or straying from the name guidelines. Be sure to complete ALL TABS in the Microsoft Excel document: Request Summary and Item Breakdown.<\/p>\n Example applications can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Past successful applications that the board found meritorious can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
