achievements by the professor in the successful involvement of students in learning, research and in the application of science and mathematics to the solution of

problems in engineering design or theory.

Recognition of a top educator began in 1982, with the “Education Achievements Award”. In 1985, the top educator award was renamed the “Distinguished Educa-tion Achievements Award”, and in 1987 the word “Engineering” was added so that

in following years the “Distinguished Engineering Education Achievements Award” was presented to our top engineering educator. At the National Engineers Week

Banquet of 1991, the award became the “Engineering Educator of the Year Award”.
