The Academy of Distinguished Engineers recognizes individuals who have helped The School of Engineering in profound ways. Since 1983, we have paid special tribute to two groups of people: exceptionally distinguished alumni whose career achievements are of a seminal nature; and dedicated individuals who have made dramatic and enduring contributions to our school.

Nominees are currently being accepted for the 2017 class of inductees. The top nominees are honored formally in the spring and are inducted into the Academy. You can visit our website for a full list of the previous distinguished recipients.

The nomination packet for this year is available here.

The nomination packet is due by November 7.
