General Awards Policy & Procedures

ASEE awards advance the purposes of the Society by recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of engineering and engineering technology educators. ASEE award recipients exemplify the best in engineering and engineering technology education by continually contributing to the profession and allied fields and by participating in ASEE and in civic and community affairs.

Any member of ASEE may be nominated for any national or society award, or Honorary or Fellow member status, depending upon the award criteria and the members' qualifications.In exceptional circumstances, with approval of the President, in the event that only one candidate is nominated for a specific award, an award may be given. It is ASEE's policy that candidates for ASEE awards are ineligible to receive more than one society-wide award per year. No member of the ASEE Awards Policy Committee, however, may receive a national or society award, Fellow Member or Honorary Member status, during their term of office. In addition to an annual financial review, the nature and purpose of all awards shall be reviewed by the Awards Policy Committee, the Executive Director, and the Board of Directors on a ten year cycle or more frequently as needed.
