The awarded fellowships are for the amount of $12,000 each. The four students are Gil Malengreaux, Angela Moore, Kiara Moore, and Krithika Srinivasan. In addition to the fellowship, the students receive priority for paid summer internships.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPreference for the fellowships is given to students choosing the new Systems Design track, which incorporates two courses from mechanical engineering \u2013 robotics and mechatronics, in addition to a new ISyE course on supply chain systems design. The purpose of the track is to prepare students for roles in supply chain facilities\u2019 engineering and design, as well as a broader range of supply chain systems design roles.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPriority is also given to underrepresented minorities and female students. Amazon is supporting ISyE and the SCL to reach out to students in transfer programs with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) or schools that are otherwise are majority minority.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the Fellowship Recipients\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGil Malengreaux\u003C\/strong\u003E, who hails from Belgium, did both his undergraduate \u2013 in electromechanical engineering \u2013 and master\u2019s work \u2013 in industrial engineering and operations research (IEOR) \u2013 at Ghent University. He is in ISyE\u2019s in the Master of Supply Chain Engineering (MS SCE) program on a Fulbright scholarship to the U.S.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMalengreaux said that he chose the supply chain engineering program because ISyE has one of the top programs internationally. \u201cWith a generic, broad master\u2019s degree in IEOR, I wanted to learn how I can apply these techniques within a supply chain setting,\u201d he explained. \u201cMy IEOR background provides me a multidisciplinary view on businesses and industry, but I believe that there\u2019s so much exciting innovation in the world of logistics and fulfilment, that highly specialized profiles are indispensable to optimize these systems, and make them more efficient, durable, and sustainable. The sustainability aspect is what really interests me.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAngela Moore\u003C\/strong\u003E completed her bachelor\u2019s degree in industrial engineering from Northeastern University in Boston, MA.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cI\u0027m fascinated by the interconnectivity of complex systems within the global supply chain,\u201d Moore said. \u201cFrom my experience in production, inventory management, system implementation, and procurement, I\u0027ve seen how a small decision in one department can have a large impact on the entire system. I\u0027d like to use my industry experience with the supply chain engineering curriculum to help strategically plan out future supply chain systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWhen I graduate from the MS SCE program, I want design innovative supply chain systems that reduce waste while being agile and responsive.

Spelman is an all-women\u2019s college and the No. 1-ranked HBCU.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShe selected Georgia Tech for her master\u2019s degree because \u201cit has been a dream school for me. Georgia Tech is known for educating some of the top professionals in the industry. Not only is Tech ranked highly for engineering, ISyE is the No. 1 school in its field.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cFurther,\u201d she noted, \u201cISyE offers programs that partner with different companies to provide real-world experience.
