NSF Graduate Research Fellowships
Congratulations to the 14 current and six future UW engineering graduate students who applied for and were awarded NSF graduate research fellowships in autumn 2009.
These awards are very prestigious. NSF Fellows are anticipated to become knowledge experts who can contribute significantly to research, teaching, and innovations in science and engineering.
In addition to demonstrating academic and research knowledge, most recipients have contributed to the field of engineering outside the lab or classroom by volunteering in local schools; tutoring; working with WiSE, MESA or other organizations to improve the diversity and education of future engineers; or teaching an innovative course for undergraduates that dovetails with their research plans.
