Engineering Hall of Fame

Membership in the Engineering Hall of Fame is reserved for individuals holding an engineering degree or honorary degree from Georgia Tech who have made sustained and meritorious engineering and/or managerial contributions during their careers. Although there is no age limit on membership in the Engineering Hall of Fame, it is expected that members will have reached the pinnacle of their professional achievements and will likely be senior citizens at the time of their election; in fact, it is likely that they will have retired from full-time professional employment. After the first year, it is expected that no more than 10 individuals will be inducted into the Engineering Hall of Fame annually.
