Outstanding Engineer Award Objective

Outstanding Engineer Award Objective

The IEEE PES Outstanding Engineer Award program allows each PES Chapter the opportunity to recognize the outstanding contribution of local engineers to the power engineering profession.

Note: the engineer must be both an IEEE and PES member.

Outstanding Engineer Award Objective

• It was established in 1994 by the PES Executive Board to recognize:

outstanding technical, professional, educational, and society/community contributions on behalf of the power engineer profession.

• In 2014 this was modified to recognize both more experienced members (>15 years) and less experienced (<15 years) members.

Nomination & Criteria - Chapter Process

Nomination & Criteria - Chapter Process

Each Chapter is free to establish their own priorities for the

selection criteria. The following areas are suggested for

comparison of award nominees:

Outstanding technical contributions to the power engineering profession.

Outstanding professional and leadership contributions to the power engineering profession

Significant contributions to the local community representing the power engineering profession.

Outstanding contributions in the area of power engineering education.

Nomination & Criteria - Chapter Process

Designate a committee of at least three individuals to review the nominations for the Outstanding Engineer and to make a selection. This committee should be chaired by the Chapter chair or his or her designee.
