Description
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) offers these fellowships in collaboration with mechanical engineering departments, with support from the ASME Foundation. The program encourages outstanding doctoral students to pursue careers in mechanical engineering education and related engineering fields, with particular attention to women and minorities.
Fellows develop classroom teaching experience while pursuing their doctorates. During the fellowship, each fellow must teach at least one lecture course with full responsibility for the course. Continued support depends on satisfactory academic progress, a commitment to engineering education, and fulfillment of the teaching requirement.
