“To me, it is the greatest honor to be honored by these three gentlemen.”
Keh-Shew Lu, Chung-Shing Lee and Ming Chiang recognized the opportunity their professor gave them.
They responded by establishing the Kwong Shu Chao Endowed Scholarship to @TTUEngineering in his honor.

We got the privilege of helping run the drone show at the 100th year celebration of carol of lights at Texas Tech University! It was as an honor to be apart of such an historic moment in Tech history!

Just one year short of a 60-year tenure at the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, Kishor Mehta, Ph.D., P.E., is a legend in wind engineering.
His awards and honors are many. He was the first person from Texas Tech to be elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering, served as the program director of structural and architectural engineering for the Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundation and starred in an episode of “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” just to name a few.
But perhaps his most recognizable achievement was developing the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which has been used in the United States since 2007 to categorize the intensity of tornadoes.
While Mehta is most well-known for his renowned contributions to the body of research, his impact at Texas Tech extends beyond the classroom and laboratory.
What many people may not know about the father of the Enhanced Fujita Scale is he has been making philanthropic contributions to the university since 1977.
Through gifts from his retirement account, Mehta has established both a scholarship and a professorship in the College of Engineering: the Kishor C. and Mary Ann Mehta Graduate Endowment and the K.C. Mehta Professorship Endowment.
The scholarship provides funding for graduate students in the National Wind Institute and stems from his work developing the doctoral program in wind science and engineering at Texas Tech.
With the creation of endowments that will benefit students and professors for generations to come, Mehta has ensured his legacy, and the excellence of wind engineering at Texas Tech, will live on in perpetuity.
“Texas Tech as an educational institution graduates future generations of professionals,” Mehta said. “My contribution to Texas Tech leaves a legacy that promotes education of students on a long-term basis.”

Always grateful for the opportunity to visit with Senator @JohnCornyn in Lubbock!
Today's focus was our work with @XFAB_Foundry on research into semiconductors.

"It all started right here for me. Texas Tech means everything to me."
Leader. Legend. Ambassador.
We were lucky enough to have Ed Whitacre, the man after which @TTUEngineering is named, in Lubbock for our spring 2023 commencement.

#TexasTech professor and Whitacre Department Chair Gerardine Botte created an indoor sensor that can detect traces of COVID-19 and other airborne viruses, which has recently entered the final states of approval from the @US_FDA.

The worlds fastest and most accurate COVID test created right here in Lubbock by Tech researchers! The device can detect infection earlier than PCR & results are ready in two minutes. It will be available in in the US & Europe in coming months. Plus it’s manufactured in Katy, TX!
