The family of mechanical engineering alum Craig M. Berge made a memorial gift to foster a vision for the College of Engineering to lead the way in solving challenges through engineering.
Since 2017, the Berges’ gift has funded the College of Engineering’s four-year design program and an endowed chair for the dean. David W. Hahn, the Craig M. Berge Dean, created a fellowship in 2020 to support selected faculty in education and research efforts.
Craig M. Berge Faculty Fellows are named to three-year terms and receive $8,000 per year. Six faculty members became fellows when the 2024 fiscal year began, including Zafer Mutlu and Ravi Tandon.
Mutlu, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering and ECE, and Tandon, the Litton Industries John M. Leonis Distinguished Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will succeed the inaugural class of Craig M. Berge Faculty Fellows.
