‒ The University of Alabama College of Engineering honored five alumni by inducting them into its 2018 class of Distinguished Engineering Fellows. Each year, the College of Engineering inducts a select group of alumni and friends as Distinguished Engineering Fellows. Recognition as a Distinguished Fellow is the highest commendation given to graduates and others who have strengthened the reputation of the College of Engineering through their efforts. The 2018 class includes John Allen, of Parker, Colorado; Donald “Chip” Flournoy, of Muscle Shoals; Michael Stevenson, of Norcross, Georgia; James “Mike” Tracy, of Vestavia Hills; and Steven Wofford, of Huntsville. The inductees were recently honored at a ceremony at the NorthRiver Yacht Club in Tuscaloosa.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
