Distinguished Alumni Awards
Each year, mechanical engineering alumni are recognized for their professional accomplishments with a Distinguished Career Award. Honorees are presented with the award at the Mechanical Engineering Reunion and Career Celebration. The award is based on the individual's significant career achievements, the measurable impact of these achievements on their field of endeavor, the uniqueness of their career and the level of interest in the recipient's career from colleagues, students, peers and/or the general public. For more information and biographies of previous alumni Distinguished Career Award winners please see the newsletter and alumni event archives.
