Affiliate Awards Recognition

To help promote and celebrate engineering, we encouraged the region’s engineering and technical societies, to submit the names of the award recipients, both projects and individuals, that they have recognized this past year or are recognizing for Engineers Week this year. We received information from 11 different groups as part of this Affiliate Society Awards Recognition, with a total of 46 people or projects, as noted below. We greatly appreciate these people and efforts that have had positive effects on life in the Delaware Valley for the benefit of all of us.

If you would like your society's awardees recognized in this way during 2013 Delaware Valley Engineers Week, send the information, using the Solicitation Form, to contact@engrclub.org.
