CMC Excellence in Engineering Education Collaboration Award

Nomination Deadline: 10/10/2025

This award program recognizes CMC member companies that demonstrate best practices in their collaborative efforts with education to enhance engineering education. Companies will be recognized for their excellence and innovation in one or both of the following:

collegiate level engineering and technology education
pre-college (k-12/k-16) programs that inspire interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Priority in judging will be given to programs and activities that extend beyond the general business and marketing objectives of member companies. For instance, a program involving active collaboration in educational activities involving a company and its employees with university faculty or students would be judged more favorably than a general marketing program in support of a product or service targeting universities as its market. More than one award may be given.

Winners will receive a presentation plaque for display, to be awarded at CIEC on Industry Day. Winners will also present their program in a poster at the ASEE Annual Conference on Industry Day.
