Zorowski presented 2014 Jackson Rigney International Service Award

North Carolina State University’s Committee on International Programs (CIP) has selected Dr. Carl Zorowski, Reynolds Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, as the 2014 winner of the Jackson Rigney International Service Award.

The award recognizes distinguished contributions of full-time, active faculty or staff at NC State who have achieved distinction in international service through their lifetime work in terms of scholarly activity in teaching, research and public service. Zorowski was awarded a plaque and a check for a minimum of $500 that was presented at the Global Engagement Exposition on Thursday, April 10; the award is sponsored by the CIP.

Zorowski’s research efforts focus on bringing a real sense to students of the practical side of engineering. A significant part of his research looks at how modern communication technologies can contribute to this goal for students pursuing graduate degrees through distance education.

He earned his BS, MS and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology.
