New Chief Engineer
Science · 1997
After 2 years of turmoil, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has a new president. William Wulf, a University of Virginia computer engineer, has been acting NAE president since last July, when the academy membership ousted Harold Liebowitz from the post following a controversial tenure (Science, 5 July 1996, p. 22). In the results of a special election announced this week, Wulf defeated Berkeley computer scientist Eugene Wong. Wulf's term expires in 2001.
