WORCESTER, Mass. - February 10, 2021 – Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Provost and Senior Vice President Winston Oluwole Soboyejo, PhD has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). NAE membership is one of the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer.
NAE membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to engineering research, practice, education, or literature and to “the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.” Soboyejo was honored for his work in two of those categories: his contributions to understanding dynamic behavior of materials, and his leadership in STEM outreach in Africa.
