Tech grad donates to electrical engineering program

HOUGHTON, MI--   A Michigan Technological University alumnus has donated $250,000 to support student scholarships in electrical engineering.  

Dave Brule, Sr. is giving $50,000 scholarships each year for five years to promote the study of electrical power engineering.  Recipients will be designated as Systems Control Scholars, in recognition of Brule’s Iron Mountain-based company Systems Control. 

Brule says his company employs 46 Tech alumni already and is actively recruiting more.
