Dr. Norman L. Fortenberry is the founding Director of the Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) at the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). CASEE represents an effort, collaborative across stakeholder communities, to improve the alignment of the knowledge and skills possessed by future and current engineers and the knowledge and skills sought within engineers by various stakeholders of engineering education. This effort is pursued through research on, as well as development and deployment of, innovative policies, practices, and tools designed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of systems for the formal (spanning all age and grade levels), informal, and lifelong education of engineers. Prior to joining NAE in October, 2002, Dr. Fortenberry held managerial positions within the National Science Foundation's (NSF's) Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) including Senior Advisor and Division Director. Dr. Fortenberry's programmatic responsibilities included undergraduate education as well as broadening access and participation in science and engineering at all levels by underrepresented populations and institutions. Prior to joining the NSF as Division Director in November, 1996, Dr. Fortenberry served as Executive Director of the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science, Inc. (The GEM Consortium) after serving as Associate Program Director, Program Director, and Staff Associate at the NSF from 1992 to 1995. Before joining the NSF staff in September, 1992, Dr. Fortenberry was Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Director of Minority Engineering Programs at Florida A&M University/Florida State University College of Engineering in Tallahassee, Florida. At FAMU/FSU, he had sponsored research programs in the area of design theory and methodology Dr. Fortenberry was awarded the S.B., S.M., and Sc.D. degrees (all in mechanical engineering) by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His specialization was Applied Mechanics and Design.
