The ASME Foundation “Swanson” Fellowship was established in 2010 in recognition of Dr. John A. Swanson, who is internationally recognized as an authority and innovator in the application of finite elements methods to engineering.
The Swanson Fellowship is designed to provide a unique opportunity for an experienced engineer to serve as a Federal Fellow at the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the White House, where they can apply their broad, multidisciplinary background toward solutions to technical issues. The Swanson Fellow will engage with professionals in the public policy arena to make practical contributions on the most effective use of engineering in federal decision making while strengthening his or her understanding of the intricacies of policymaking.
OSTP was established in 1976 with a broad mandate to advise the President and others within the Executive Office of the President on the impacts of science and technology on domestic and international affairs. The 1976 Act also authorizes OSTP to lead an interagency effort to develop and to implement sound science and technology policies and budgets and to work with the private sector, state and local governments, the science and higher education communities, and other nations toward this end. Additional information about OSTP is available at www.ostp.gov
