	Dr. Carl Ventrice, Jr. Marie Ventrice Endowed Engineering Scholarship Dr. Corinne Darvennes and Dr. Sally Pardue have established the Marie B. Ventrice Engineering Scholarship Endowment at Tennessee Technological University. The endowment is to recognize Dr. Marie Ventrice’s engineering and educational career and to applaud her role as a mentor for women in the field of engineering. Dr. Carl A. Ventrice, Sr. Memorial Scholarship Endowment This memorial scholarship is created in honor of Dr. Carl A. Ventrice, Sr., who passed away on December 27, 2020 at the age of 90. He served as a faculty member at the University for more than 45 years, retiring from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2011. Ventrice was a graduate from Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. in electrical engineering, M.S. in physics and Ph.D. in nuclear physics. While studying at Penn State, he met his future wife, Marie Busck. Tech alumni know Marie Busck Ventrice as Tech's first Ph.D. graduate. She graduated in 1974 with a Ph.D. in engineering and went on to be the associate dean of Tech's College of Engineering. After obtaining his Ph.D., Ventrice began working for the defense contractor Analytic Services in Washington, D.C., before moving to Cookeville in 1964 and joining the faculty of the Physics Department at Tech (then known as Tennessee Polytechnic Institute). The family then moved to Auburn, Alabama, but Wallace Prescott soon recruited Ventrice back to Tech, where he had a long career teaching electrical engineering and physics students and doing research in the areas of plasma science, laser technology and electromagnetic field propagation and scattering.
