Dr. Karen Feigh was featured in a recent Georgia Tech news article discussing the increasing number of women in engineering. The disproportionate number of male to female students at Georgia Tech may long have drawn attention to itself – despite the fact that the Institute has established itself as the No. 1 producer of female engineers in the United States. In reality, though, those female engineers have been drawing significant attention of their own.

Scottie-Beth Fleming and Dr. Amy Pritchett were awarded the Best Paper within the Training Technical Group at the 2013 International Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. Their paper is titled "Examining an Improved Pilot Training Program for TCAS."
