The CAREER program recognizes and supports the early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who are most likely to become the academic leaders of the twenty-first century. CAREER awardees are selected on the basis of creative, career-development plans that effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission of their institution. Jeff Wu, the ISyE Coca-Cola Chair in Engineering Statistics, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering for his work conceiving and building modern systems of experimental design based on contemporary methods for parameter estimation to provide quality improvements. Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made important contributions to engineering theory and practice, including significant contributions to the literature of engineering theory and practice; and those who have demonstrated accomplishment in the pioneering of new fields of engineering, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/ implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.
