The University of Louisiana at Lafayette's engineering department has a little more financial padding after a substantial donation. The founder of Frank's Casing Crew and Rental Tools, Donald Mosing, has donated $2.8 million to the department.

The funds will help create a $1 million dollar endowed chair in mechanical engineering, a computer aided design lab and a student career development program.

This represents the largest personal donation in the history of the department.
