Awards and Recognition
DedicatedEngineers' Awards and Recognition Program
seeks to give wide
public recognition to deserving organizations, programs, projects, general
efforts and (especially) individuals (the “faces of engineering”). Besides
our own awards, DedicatedEngineers also seeks to publicize other key awards programs.

Other Awards Programs
DedicatedEngineers Awards:
Academic All-American Awards
Recognizing college seniors ranked within the
top 1% of their overall engineering class at their college or university.
Public
Benefit Awards
Recognizing the efforts of both individuals and
organizations yielding significant public benefit. Examples include:
-
Community
service learning projects/programs.
-
Applied
academic research projects having significant positive societal
implications.
-
Volunteer
projects/programs undertaken by engineering firms/groups in their communities.
While relatively an open awards category, all
nominated efforts must either significantly involve engineering efforts or
be conducted/performed by engineers (or engineering organizations) and not
consist of (or be a part of) any for-profit efforts (see DedicatedEngineers’ separate
“Engineering Practice Awards” category for recognition of for-profit
efforts).
Engineering
Practice Awards
Recognizing “high positive impact” projects/products and
the individuals behind those projects/products. Eligible project/product categories include:
|
--- Agriculture |
--- Energy |
--- Medical/Health |
|
--- Communications |
--- Environmental |
--- Safety |
|
--- Education |
--- Infrastructure/Public Works |
--- Transportation |
Projects/products selected will be based on the positive
impact made on their intended audience or our nation/the world as a whole. Nomination
of projects/products of all budget sizes and all levels of impact (i.e., national,
state, or local) is encouraged.
Public Awareness of Engineering Awards
Recognizing the efforts of both individuals and
organizations aimed at raising public awareness of engineering. Both
voluntary and other efforts will be recognized.
Annual
Leadership Awards (“Spirit of Engineering Awards” Awards)
Awarded annually to individuals and
organizations that most reflect/embody the spirit and essence of
DedicatedEngineers
through their efforts/actions, whether on behalf of DedicatedEngineers or otherwise.

Other Awards Programs:
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
The Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) is the world's largest pre-college science
fair. Annually, over one million students in grades 9-12 compete in
regional science fairs and nearly 500 affiliated fairs held around the
world. From that preliminary competition, some 1,200 students from 40+
countries are selected to compete in the Finals (held each May) for over
$3 million in scholarships and prizes.
Dedicated Engineers salutes the nearly 200
student Finalists who competed in the Engineering category - they
represent the future of engineering as well as serve as role models
to their peers and to younger students!
