T. Scott Edwards

The Richard K. Edwards Memorial Scholarship Endowment was established in 1989 as a tribute to the late Richard K. Edwards by his family and friends in recognition of his interest in encouraging the study of engineering by Fentress County High School graduates. Mr. Edwards, a 1981 TTU Industrial Engineering graduate, and his family pioneered the development of powdered metal manufacturing in the Upper Cumberlands by establishing Micro Metals, Inc. in Jamestown, Tennessee in 1977. Richard served in various manufacturing engineering and management capacities during the rapid development of the company until his untimely death in an automobile accident in the summer of 1988.

Earnings from the original endowment have grown sufficiently to establish another endowment to directly support the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.
