MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
The National Science Foundation is an independent U.S. government agency responsible for promoting science and engineering through programs that invest over $3.3 billion per year in almost 20,000 research and education projects in science and engineering.WHAT IS A CAREER AWARD?
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that encourages the integration of education and research by faculty in the early phases of their academic careers. The program began in 1978 when the awards were then known as the Presidential Young Investigator Award or the Young Investigator Award. Today, the award supports junior faculty for approximately $50,000 a year for a five-year period.PECASE AWARDS
The Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) was established in 1996 to honor the most promising beginning researchers in the nation within their fields. Eight federal departments and agencies, including the National Science Foundation, nominate those who show exceptional promise for leadership at the frontiers of scientific knowledge. The award is presented at a ceremony in the White House.FACULTY WINNERS

Mechanical engineering was the first degree-granting program established at Georgia Tech. On September 20, 1985, the School of Mechanical Engineering celebrated its centennial by assuming the name of one of its most distinguished alumni, Atlanta businessman and philanthropist, George W. Woodruff (Class of 1917). Today, the Woodruff School offers programs in mechanical engineering, nuclear and radiological engineering, medical physics, bioengineering, and paper science and engineering. The enrollment includes 1718 undergraduates and nearly 700 graduate students. Studies are directed by a full-time faculty of 92 professors, 26 research faculty, and five academic professionals, who are supported by 50 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.
