Benjamin Carver Lamme Award

Paul R. Gray, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost at the University of California-Berkeley, received the Benjamin Garver Lamme Award recognizing his exemplary contributions to electrical engineering education through the guiding and mentoring of students, research, a textbook and universitywide academic leadership. Gray is coauthor of the textbook Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits, which is considered a leading textbook in its field. It has been translated into most major languages. A leader in research on analog and mixed signal integrated circuits for 30 years, his contributions are well documented in the archival and patent literature.

Established in 1928, the Benjamin Garver Lamme Award recognizes excellence in teaching, contributions to research and technical literature, and achievements that advance the profession of engineering college administration.

Frederick J. Berger Award

John Stratton, Professor of Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), received the Frederick J. Berger Award for his exemplary contributions to engineering technology education and his instrumental leadership of the engineering technology programs at RIT. Stratton has served for over 35 years at RIT and has been a leader of the school's engineering technology programs for over 20 years. He was the associate dean when the electrical/mechanical engineering technology department was developed and accredited. The telecommunications engineering technology program at RIT was the first telecommunications engineering technology program accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC/ABET) in the United States.

The Frederick J. Berger Award was established in 1990 by Frederick J. Berger, and it recognizes and encourages excellence in engineering technology education. It is presented to both an individual and a school or department for demonstrating outstanding leadership in curriculum, techniques, or administration in engineering technology education.

Chester F. Carlson Award

Sudhir I. Mehta, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs at North Dakota State University (NDSU), received the Chester F. Carlson Award for Innovation in Engineering Education. Mehta is recognized for creating outstanding innovations in engineering education including the development, implementation, assessment, and dissemination of "Statics: The Next Generation" materials. He is also recognized for his pioneering work in hypermedia-based learning, service learning, and leadership development. His work in using the hypermedia for developing CD-ROM-based resource modules for instrumentation and communication was selected for the National Science Foundation's (NSF) 1997 NSF Showcase. Mehta is the founder of the Excellence in Engineering Education (?-Cube) Club at NDSU.

The Chester F. Carlson Award, sponsored by the Xerox Corp., is presented annually to an individual innovator in engineering education who, by motivation and ability to extend beyond the accepted tradition, has made a significant contribution to the profession.

Clement J. Freund Award

Mike Mathews, Assistant Professor and Associate Director for Cooperative Education at Mississippi State University, received the Clement J. Freund Award for his exemplary leadership in cooperative education. His impact on the cooperative education program at Mississippi State University is demonstrated through his success over the past 29 years in establishing relationships with employers, placing students, and effectively working with university administration. Mathews's contributions to cooperative education are known on the regional and national levels. As a senior member in the cooperative education arena, he is involved in planning and hosting many regional and national cooperative education events, and he serves on regional and national boards, including involvement in ASEE's Cooperative Education Division and College Industry Education Conference.
