Professor Joe G. Eisley

Department of Aerospace Engineering
University of Michigan

Biography:
Joe G. Eisley received the degrees of Bachelor of Science (St. Louis University, 1951), Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy (California Institute of Technology, 1952, 1956) all in the field of aeronautics. He served on the faculty of the Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Michigan from 1956 until his retirement as Emeritus Professor of Aerospace Engineering in 1998. His special areas of teaching
and research include structural analysis, vibration, aerospace systems, and computer aided design. Industrial activities included work with North American Aviation, Douglas, and Boeing. He worked with several NASA Space Grant Program and serving on the Board of Directors of the Universities Space Research Association for six years. His particular and proudest legacy may be found in the significant achievements of many former students in the aeronautics and space industries, military service, and NASA (including five astronauts).
