The
John Leland Atwood Award of the ASEE Aerospace
Division and the American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics (AIAA) was established in
1985. Lee Atwood entered aviation when it
was little more than experimentation in a
daring sport, though he believed that this
new field would be the cornerstone of our
security and serve as a principal medium of
world commerce. As an outstanding engineer
and leader of a great industrial corporation,
Atwood played a major role in the development
of aviation and aerospace technologies for
more than 50 years.
The
Atwood Award is bestowed annually upon an
outstanding aerospace engineering educator
in recognition of the educator's contributions
to the profession.
The Award:
The award is endowed by Rockwell International
and consists of a $2,000 honorarium and a
certificate. In addition, the AIAA presents
a suitably engraved medal and certificate
at the annual Aerospace Sciences Meeting.
Qualifications:
This award recognizes the accomplishments
of a superior aerospace engineering educator
and his or her contributions to the profession
and, therefore, requires demonstration of
improvements of lasting influence to aerospace
engineering education through:
research,
technical textbooks or the introduction
of experimental courses or experimental
instructional methods;
technical
articles on education or the introduction
of new laboratory or teaching equipment;
demonstration
of success as a teacher and/or significant
progress in aerospace engineering education
and its administration;
contributions
and participation in pertinent educational
and professional societies or other organizations
important to aerospace engineering education.
This award shall
be given to an aerospace engineering educator
who, at the time of selection, is engaged
in teaching and research in some field of
aerospace engineering; however, in exceptional
circumstances, it may be awarded to others
who have made a substantial contribution to
aerospace engineering education.
Eligibility:
The recipient will be expected to participate
in any subsequent ceremony which the AIAA
may choose. The award can be received only
once by any individual.
Nomination:
Nominations may be made by any member of ASEE
and/or AIAA.
Electrical
and Computer Engineering Division - Frederick
Emmons Terman Award
The
Frederick Emmons Terman Award of the Electrical
and Computer Engineering Division was established
in 1969. Although Frederick Emmons Terman
served Stanford University in many capacities,
including head of the electrical engineering
department, dean of the school of engineering,
provost, vice president, and acting president,
it was while he was an instructor and professor
that he guided engineering students William
Hewlett and David Packard, eventually urging
them to set up their successful partnership.
In 1942, as a result of directing the Harvard
University Radio Research Laboratory, which
was responsible for developing countermeasures
against enemy radar, Dr. Terman received an
honorary doctor's degree from Harvard, was
decorated by the British government and was
awarded the Presidential Medal for Merit,
the highest award for civilians in the United
States.
The
Terman Award is bestowed annually upon an
outstanding young electrical engineering educator
in recognition of the educator's contributions
to the profession.
The Award:
The award is sponsored by the Hewlett-Packard
Company and consists of a $5,000 honorarium,
a gold-plated medal, a bronze replica, a presentation
scroll and reimbursement of travel expenses
for the awardee to attend the ASEE Frontiers
in Education Conference, where the award is
presented.
Qualifications:
In light of the successes of Dr. Terman and
those of his students, the recipients of this
award must meet the following requirements:
Be the principal
author of an electrical engineering textbook
published prior to June 1 of the year
in which the author becomes 40 years of
age and judged by peers to be outstanding
by virtue of its original contribution
to the field.
Have outstanding
achievements in teaching, research, guidance
of students and related activities.
Be an electrical
engineering educator under 45 years of
age on June 1 of the year in which the
award selection is made.
Be a full-time
member of a college faculty and actively
engaged in teaching in the United States
or Canada at the time that the award winner
is selected.
