Hasbrouck selected for Tau Beta Pi fellowship

2016 Aug 23

The Fellowship Board of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, announces the selection of 24 engineering students from 497 applicants for graduate fellowships in 2016-17.

Among the fellows selected was 2016 Trine University graduate Christie Hasbrouck of Terre Haute.

Nineteen of this year's recipients will receive cash stipends of $10,000 for their advanced study. More than $6,450,000 in stipends will have been given by the Society when this 83rd group of fellows completes its graduate work. All Tau Beta Pi Fellowships are awarded on the competitive criteria of high scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession.

All fellows are members of Tau Beta Pi and may do their graduate work at any institution they choose. This year's recipients will study several different fields of engineering, including nine biomedical, three electrical, three chemical and bioengineering, and two mechanical. The others have chosen studies in aerospace engineering, bioengineering, biosystems engineering, chemical engineering, computer science, metallurgical and materials engineering, and tech, commercialization, and entrepreneurship.

Tau Beta Pi was founded at Lehigh University in 1885. It has collegiate chapters at 245 engineering colleges in the United States and active alumni chapters in 40 cities. It has initiated more than 570,000 members in its 131-year history and is the world's largest engineering society.
