At
a special luncheon tomorrow at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Design News will
introduce the winners of its Engineering Achievement Awards.
This year marks the 21st year the
magazine has honored specific engineers for their achievements. Among the
awards: Engineer of the Year, Special Achievement, Women in Engineering,
Engineering Quality, Global Innovation, and College Design.
The Timken Corp. joins Design News in honoring the person voted by the
magazine's readers as Engineer of the Year. Last fall, the magazine's editors
nominated five engineering super stars and asked readers to select one to
receive Engineer-of-the-Year honors. Timken will fund a $25,000 grant to the
engineering school the winner chooses.
Autodesk will fund a grant to the engineering school chosen by the winner of
the magazine's Women In Engineering Award.
Phillips Plastics will honor the winner of the Design News Special
Achievement Award with a $20,000 grant to the winner's choice of engineering
schools.
ITT Industries, Cannon will donate $20,000 to the engineering school selected
by the winner of the magazine's Engineering Quality Award.
Omron Electronics will provide a cash award to the winner of the Global
Innovation Award, and fund a grant to the school of the winner's choice.
ANSYS will do the same-a cash award to the winner and a grant to the
school-to honor the recipient of the College Design Engineering Award.
At 11am Wednesday, Design News will introduce all the
winners at a special "Meet and Greet" event at the Design News
booth.
