--Mechanical engineering professor Randall M. German, director of the university's Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, named a Fellow for both the American Society for Metals International and American Powder Metallurgy Institute International in 1989 and 1998, respectively; and
--Civil engineering professor James L. Martin, selected as an American Society of Civil Engineers Fellow, also in 2005.
"It is a privilege to honor faculty who have contributed so much in their specific fields," said college Dean Kirk Schulz. "Our faculty members are the cornerstone of the engineering program."
