FEATURES
Behind the Lab Doors
With thousands of faculty and student researchers and countless research areas spread across eight schools, you never know what you’ll see when you visit a lab space.
Industry Connections
Collaborating with industry gives companies access to world‑class expertise and new ideas. For students and faculty, it’s a direct line to the challenges defining real‑world engineering.
Exit Interview
In 2022, we met a group of Dean’s Scholars in their first year of college and asked about their hopes and dreams for college and their lives. Four years later, and with graduation near, we invited them back to see how things have changed.

From the Interim Dean
Dear Friends,
I arrived at Georgia Tech in 1989 as a faculty member in what was then called the School of Electrical Engineering. I’ve seen the face of campus change during my career. And then change again.
One of the more recognizable transformations began 25 years ago, when Georgia Tech broke ground on Tech Square. Phase one was a 1.4 million-square-foot ecosystem for high-tech research, education, and retail. It delivered — and then some, forever changing Georgia Tech and Midtown. Phase two followed in 2019 with the addition of the Coda building, 21 floors programmed around high-performance computing, innovative collaborations, and commercialization. This semester, Tech Square officially welcomed phase three with the opening of two new towers, including the 18-story George Tower. It will serve as the new home of the top-ranked H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
Another transformation begins this summer for the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering. The state of Georgia recently approved $88.2 million for the design and construction of the School’s new home, which will take shape in the coming years.
Now that the state has committed nearly half of the $200 million project cost, a major focus over the next 12 months will be securing the remaining half. The Delta Air Lines Foundation is the first partner to step forward with a $5 million commitment.
We’ll need everyone’s help to be successful. I’m hopeful that many of you will be willing to invest in this priority. It’s good for Tech and for the state of Georgia.
We have more on the new AE Building and George Tower in this edition of Helluva Engineer. We’re also going inside our existing engineering buildings to give you a peek at a few of the unique lab spaces on campus. You’ll read about some of the ways we’re connecting with and serving industry. And you’ll meet three of our amazing Dean’s Scholars. We first talked to them in their first year about their ambitions for their Georgia Tech years and beyond. Four years later, we see how their outlooks have changed — or not.
Have a great summer, and Go Jackets!
