No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

C. F. Jeff Wu, Coca-Cola Chair Professor in Engineering Statistics within the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in 2004. His citation reads as
For conceiving and building modern systems of experimental design based on contemporary methods for parameter estimation to provide quality improvements.
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made "important contributions to engineering theory and practice, including significant contributions to the literature of engineering theory and practice," and those who have demonstrated accomplishment in "the pioneering of new fields of engineering, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
