[3][4] Ferziger received his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the Cooper Union in New York in 1957.
He received his master's (1959) and Ph.D. (1962) degrees in nuclear engineering, both from the University of Michigan.
Following his death, Ferziger's wife and daughters established the Professor Joel H. Ferziger Memorial Fellowship, awarded annually to a graduate student in Stanford's Mechanical Engineering Department.
The first fellowship was awarded to Shashank, a student in the Flow Physics and Computational Engineering Group.
