College of Engineering Graduate Receives Tau Beta Pi Fellowship
Eleanor Henson
A biological engineering graduate has been awarded a fellowship from a national engineering honor society to pursue her graduate studies.
Eleanor Henson was one of 30 engineering students nationally selected for a Tau Beta Pi Fellowship for 2020-21.
The fellowship, established in 1928, is Tau Beta Pi's "most important project for the advancement of engineering education and the profession," according to the organization.
Henson received her B.S. in biological engineering with honors, an environmental engineering concentration and a minor in sustainability.
As an undergraduate, Henson worked at the Arkansas Water Resources Center as a research assistant, which led to publishing an article in the Journal of Agrosystems, Geosciences & the Environment in August 2019 on phosphorus cycling in streambed sediments. She simultaneously conducted research as an Arkansas Department of Higher Education Student Undergraduate Research Fellow evaluating the hydrologic impact of an on-campus green roof. She was also selected as the College of Engineering Outstanding Senior for the class of 2020.
She was awarded a nationally competitive Fulbright Research Award in Canada and is pursuing her master's degree in environmental engineering at Colorado State University.
