Tesla’s legacy ishonored and promoted by the Tesla Memorial Society of New York and a group on LongIsland is working to establish a science museum in Tesla's laboratory at Wardenclyffe.2 Onthe other hand, thanks to the many colorful and exaggerated predictions he made about hisinventions, Tesla has become a patron saint for New Age groups.

This program received the 1999 Boeing Outstanding Educator Award, in recognitionof its quality and effectiveness in providing a well-rounded engineering design education.The program objectives were developed in response to the call by industry for baccalaureateengineers to possess a broader set of skills beyond their analytical and computer skills. This call wasstrengthened by the Engineering faculty’s observation of the students’ experiences in senior capstonedesign during the late 1980’s and 1990’s.
