Dr. Wade H. Shaw
Professor Emeritus of Systems Engineering and Former Dean
Dr. Wade Shaw joined Mercer Engineering as the Dean and Georgia Kaolin Industry Chair in Summer 2009. His service as Dean helped grow the school significantly as new programs were developed and new laboratories were constructed. Faculty sabbaticals were restarted and programs like Mercer On Mission (MoM), Mercer Summer Engineering Experience (MeSEE), and GoBabyGo blossomed into self-sustaining programs. Dr. Shaw returned to full-time faculty status in 2017 to resume teaching, research, consulting, and service.
Education
- Ph.D., Engineering Management, Clemson University
- M.S., Systems Engineering, Clemson University
- B.S., Electrical Engineering, Clemson University
Specializations
