Edinburg- Mechanical engineering and Julia Beecherl endowed professor, Karen Lozano makes history as the first UTRGV professor elected into the National Academy of Engineering.
The NAE is a nonprofit institution that provides advice and insight to the federal government to advance the nation’s well-being, making it one of the highest professional distinctions in the field of engineering.
Lozano was honored at the engineering week celebration luncheon in UTRGV last Friday and will be formally inducted this fall.
