Corporate Member Council - CMC Excellence in Engineering Education Collaboration Awards

The CMC Excellence in Engineering Education Collaboration Awards recognizes ASEE Corporate Member Council (CMC) member companies that demonstrate best practices in their collaborative efforts with education to enhance engineering education. Companies are recognized for their excellence for innovation, collaboration and support to collegiate level education or pre-college (K-12), Community College, etc.) and support to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Multiple awards may be presented each year, at the discretion of the awards committee. The award is presented at the Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration (CIEC) and consists of a distinguished award plaque.

To be eligible, a company must be a current member of the ASEE Corporate Member Council and commit to having a representative present during Industry Day at the Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration (CIEC) to receive the award. The same company can be recognized for both pre-college and collegiate level collaborations.

Nominations are to be submitted by November 15 to the attention of the Chair of the CMC Awards Committee. Nominations must indicate the company name, contact person, address, phone and e-mail addresses; name of the program, project or title to use on award and an abstract of the program or project (limited to 500-600 words or less).

The abstract of the program or project must include: goals of the program; demonstration that the goals were reached; an assessment of the program that reflects on the strengths of the program and areas for improvement; description of the partnerships and the roles each played; and the sustainability of the program. Attachments of materials from or about the program are not required. Nominations of programs not awarded are not held over and must be resubmitted.

Curtis W. McGraw (1895-1953) began his career with McGraw-Hill in 1920 in the book company's shipping department and worked his way up to the presidency of that company in 1950. As a successful business executive, he carved for himself a place of importance and distinction in the book publishing world.

The Curtis W. McGraw Research Award was established in 1957 to recognize outstanding early achievements by young engineering college research workers and to encourage the continuance of such productivity.

The Award: The annual award is sponsored by the Engineering Research Council with the assistance of the McGraw-Hill Book Company. The award consists of a $1,000 honorarium and a certificate, as well as $500 to defray travel costs to attend the Engineering Research Council (ERC) Forum where the award is presented.

Qualifications: Because this award recognizes the significant achievements of young researchers and educators, recipients must demonstrate:

Research activity in one or more types of research ordinarily carried on by engineering colleges or institutes of technology.
Achievement of important advances accepted by colleagues and by others in the field of specialization with emphasis on quality rather than quantity as well as sound and productive thinking and with a promise for making other significant contributions

Outstanding research abilities, including discoveries and other original contributions to engineering fundamentals; conceptions and improvements of laboratory techniques or devices; the publication of books, monographs and scholarly papers; and activities in educational professional societies.

Candidates must be under 40 years of age on June 30th of the year in which the award selection is made.

Engineering Research Council - Research Administration Award

For achievement in developing and supporting programs that lead to substantial research success of colleagues
For achievement in the development and implementation of a major research initiative that has a substantial positive impact on research
For promotion of research and development excellence
