The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has elected 75 new members and nine foreign associates. Election to the National Academy of Engineering 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 traditonal fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
T&DI members and staff are proud to announce that Adrian R. Chamberlain, Ph.D., P.E., who is a Manager for Parsons Brinckerhoff, Denver has been selected for innovations in the mobility, aesthetic, safety, and environmental aspects of transportation systems. Congratulations Dr. Chamberlain!
