Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Tulane University
After graduating from high school in New Orleans, LA in 1985, Calvin
Mackie was conditionally accepted into Morehouse College where he
began his college career in remedial reading after attaining a weak
score on the SAT college entrance examination. Over the next eleven
years, Mackie embarked on an unbelievable journey of academic and
personal achievement that no man-made test could have predicted.
As an undergraduate, Mackie was a dual-degree achiever. In 1990,
he earned a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree from Georgia
Tech and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Morehouse College,
where he graduated magna cum laude. Two years later, he earned a
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech. In
March 1996, he was conferred the Doctor of Philosophy degree in
Mechanical Engineering.
In 1992, he co-founded Channel ZerO, an educational and motivational
consulting company and has been active on the public speaking circuit
for over ten years giving motivational presentations to numerous
educational, civic and corporate institutions. Mackie is also a
tenured associate professor of mechanical engineering at Tulane
University in New Orleans, LA, specializing in heat transfer and
fluid dynamics. Recently, President Bush honored Dr. Mackie with
the 2003 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics
and Engineering Mentoring. He has won numerous awards including
the 2003 National Title One Distinguished Graduate for Louisiana,
2002 Black Engineer of the Year Award for College Level Educator,
2002 New Orleans Data News Weekly Trailblazer Award, and the Pi
Tau Sigma/ASME Excellence in Teaching Award in Mechanical Engineering
