TASSA is proud to announce that four Turkish American Scientists are inducted to the National Academy of Engineering.

"Election to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer.  Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature" and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/ implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."

Individuals in the newly elected class will be formally inducted during a ceremony at the NAE’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 8, 2017.  A list of the newly elected members and foreign members can be found on NAE's website, with their primary affiliations at the time of election and a brief statement of their principal engineering accomplishments.
