Tuesday. Sperry donates $25,000 to U. engineers Sperry Corp. donated $25,000 to the University of Utah's electrical engineering department Tuesday. This is the fifth consecutive year the corporation has given such a donation to the engineering department. These unrestricted funds for engineering program development were made available by the corporation vice president, Leonard Swern. The College of Engineering at the U. is a major center for engineering research in the western United States. In 1983, it ranked among the top 20 engineering schools nationwide in terms of level of research support. During the last four years, the annual research budget has grown at a rate of more than 15 percent.
