Dennis Livesay, the Dave House Dean of Michigan Tech’s College of Computing, and Michelle Scherer, dean of the University’s College of Engineering, announced the inaugural Dave House Computational Innovation Fellowship this week. The initiative aims to bridge the disciplines of engineering and computing through deep, sustained research collaborations by uniting faculty and students from both colleges.
Supported by Tech alumnus Dave House ’65 and the House Family Foundation, the fellowship is the first of its kind at Tech, in that it’s specifically designed to recruit and support high-caliber doctoral students through support and mentorships based in both computing and engineering.
“The Colleges of Engineering and Computing have made great strides in working together, and it’s my hope that these fellowships will catalyze even more long-lasting partnerships,” said House.
The two-year fellowship is awarded to a pair of current MTU faculty members, one in the College of Engineering and one in the College of Computing, based on a joint research project proposal that includes mentorship and support for a co-affiliated doctoral student.
