College of Engineering at Georgia Tech

He’s served as the College of Engineering’s associate dean for academic affairs and the school chair for Aerospace Engineering in more than 20 years at Georgia Tech.

Congrats to Mitchell Walker, our next dean.

Highlights from this past weekend’s engineering master’s ceremony. Congratulations to all of our recent engineering graduates! 🎓🐝🎉

In 2022, Lukas, Rivash, Priscilla, Antonia, Carson, and Ghufran had big plans for their lives. And Georgia Tech was going to help them get there. In their exit interviews four years later, they say they've learned ...

.. not to doubt themselves so much.
.. to let go of some things to focus on others.
.. to focus more on the process and worry less about the outcome.
.. how to find balance in their lives.
.. the importance of connecting with people.
.. that it's OK to struggle, and even to fail.

More of their hard-earned wisdom and perspective:

Many of our upcoming spring graduates elected to participate in this semester’s Order of the Engineer ceremony where they recited an oath and were bestowed a ring which will remind them to serve humanity with pride, purpose and passion, and to engineer solutions for a better tomorrow.

Congratulations to these upcoming graduates 🎓👏

237 teams across 12 disciplines competed in the Spring 2026 Capstone Design Expo.

Two teams tied for best overall project: one with a portable defense against enemy drones to protect soldiers and the other with a system to protect livers enroute to transplant recipients. The best interdisciplinary team aimed to protect drinking water in Guatemala by removing toxic levels of arsenic.

MSE student Mya Love Griesbaum has created a fashion startup using fungi to decompose synthetic textile waste and turn it into new sustainable fabrics.

The fashion industry churns out millions of tons of textile waste every year, most of which is made from synthetic materials that can linger in landfills for centuries. Mya is using fungi to fix this problem.

New rankings are out and the College of Engineering remains No. 4 in the nation among graduate programs and second for public universities.

The U.S. News and World Report list also has Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech and Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at No. 1. The George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering jumped up to No. 3 and all other engineering programs ranked 9th or better.

NASA’s Artemis II is set to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida on April 1, at 6:24 p.m. This is the first time humans will head to the moon since 1972 and several Georgia Tech engineering graduates have key roles in the Artemis program.

These roles range from managing the ground systems that assemble and test the spacecraft, leading the team that recovers the capsule and crew after splashdown, and developing the landers that will carry astronauts to the moon on future Artemis missions.
