> > ASME Graduate Teaching Fellowship Program
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Council on Education administers the Graduate Teaching Fellowship Program, which was established in 1991 to encourage outstanding graduate students, especially women and minorities, to pursue the doctorate in mechanical engineering and to encourage engineering education as a profession. Awards are made for a maximum of two years, with an initial annual stipend of five thousand dollars. The amount of the award is reviewed and approved annually by the ASME Board on Engineering Education in cooperation with the ASME Foundation.
An applicant must be a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering, who has demonstrated interest in an academic career. The candidate must have a masters degree or have passed the qualifying exams. A commitment from the applicants department for the candidate to teach a lecture course is required. An applicant must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident, have an undergraduate degree from an ABET-accredited program, and be a student member of the ASME.
The Graduate Teaching Fellowship Program is competitive. Applicants must submit undergraduate GPA, GRE scores, a current rsum, two letters of recommendation from faculty or a reading committee, transcripts of all academic work, and a statement about their plans for an academic career.
The holder of the fellowship is reviewed annually for satisfactory academic progress and continued commitment to a career in teaching engineering. During the course of the fellowship, the recipient must teach at least one lecture course.

ASME International
The 125,000-member ASME International is a worldwide engineering society focused on technical, educational, and research issues. ASME conducts one of the worlds largest publishing operations, holds some thirty technical conferences and two hundred professional development courses each year, and sets many industrial and manufacturing standards.
Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, today ASME International is a nonprofit educational and technical organization serving a worldwide membership.
The work of the Society is performed by its member-elected Board of Governors and through its five Councils, forty-four Boards and hundreds of Committees in thirteen regions throughout the world. There are a combined four hundred sections and student sections serving ASME's worldwide membership.
The Atlanta section of the ASME was chartered in 1913 with Dr. John Saylor Coon, head of the mechanical engineering department at Georgia Tech and a founding member of the ASME, as its first president. The Georgia Tech student chapter was organized in 1915. Today, the chapter is one of the largest student groups on the Tech campus.
The Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering
The Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering is the oldest and second largest of the ten divisions in the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech. The School offers academic and research programs in mechanical engineering, nuclear and radiological engineering, and health physics. The enrollment includes 1765 undergraduates and almost 723 graduate students. Studies are directed by 92 full-time professors, 26 research faculty, and six academic professionals, who are supported by 55 staff members. The George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering is the only educational institution to be designated a Mechanical Engineering Heritage Site by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
