Awards Committee's primary goal is to reward individuals and societies for outstanding performances and displays of leadership qualities. The list of awards that we distribute are as follows:

Every year the College of Engineering recognizes the top 10% of engineering advisors on campus. These advisors are chosen each year by undergraduate and graduate students within the engineering discipline. As a recipient of this prestigious award, the advisors will attend an awards banquet early 2008 at which they will receive a plaque recognizing their excellence.

In order to receive a better representation of the advisors on campus, students are highly encouraged to take a few minutes to thoughtfully fill out the Advisors List Evaluation Form.

Forms will be available on the Engineering Council web page, the Engineering Council office and department offices. Evaluations will be due in November. Students who fill out the evaluation form will be automatically entered in a raffle for one of the four $25 gift certificates to Best Buy. Winners of the raffle will be contacted via email. One evaluation form per student.

This award recognizes societies that have shown excellence and innovation in those programs and activities they carried out during the previous month. Any society member can elect societies for this award. Each society will be rewarded a plaque and a monetary stipend.

During certain Engineering Council Events, a tally of engineering society members will be taken. Each tally will be considered as a single name of the society that will be put into a raffle. At the end of the event, one name will be chosen. The chosen name will be awarded a monetary stipend.

These awards will randomly be given out to societies that have done something unique and creative. Awards depend on the activity or the event.
