The Center for Advanced Construction Materials is excited to announce Materials Science and Engineering master student Kate Nguyen, advised by Maria Konsta-Gdoutos, has received the Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program (DDETFP) fellowship for the coming year.

The Eisenhower Fellowship is a competitive program administered by the Federal Highway Administration for the Department of Transportation. The fellowships are awarded to students pursuing degrees in transportation-related disciplines and aim to advance the transportation workforce by helping to attract the nation’s brightest minds to the field of transportation, encouraging future transportation professionals to seek advanced degrees, and helping to retain top talent in the U.S. transportation industry. The awards are merit-based and generally result in 150-200 grants annually, subject to the availability of funds.

The program also supports Fellows to participate in the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, held virtually in January 2021.
