Biography

While pursuing his graduate degrees at Georgia Tech, Dr. Sean St.Clair was fortunate to gain experience as an instructor, teaching statics and dynamics, and as a structural designer with Starzer Brady Fagan Associates in Atlanta Georgia.  Both of these positions prepared him to join the faculty at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ in 2004 where he is currently  a professor and chaired the Civil Engineering Department from 2009 to 2019. Under his leadership, the department won the  prestigious ASCE Walt LeFevre Award in 2013. Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech was granted the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Delta Chapter of Tau Beta Pi under Dr. St.Clair’s leadership in 2018.
