Dr. Vireshwar Sahai came to the United States after being awarded a scholarship to study engineering at Oregon State University. After completing his undergraduate degree, he earned an M.S. and Ph.D. in Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Dr. Sahai began teaching at Tennessee Technological University for the College of Engineering in 1966. His successful career spanned 32 years when he retired in 1998. Professor Sahai passed away in January of 2018. During his tenure as a professor, he worked tirelessly to help students at the University achieve their degrees. Given that he always considered himself an engineer with a mathematical emphasis, it is the hope of his widow, Krishna, and their children that this scholarship in those fields will continue Dr. Sahai's legacy by helping future bright-minded students obtain their educational goals in life
