The School of Engineering and Applied Science has given its annual Award for Excellence to 16 advanced graduate students who have performed at the highest level as scholars and researchers.

The six engineering departments nominated the recipients based on their achievements in courses, research and teaching.

“Graduate students are working in real time to expand the frontiers of what we know while serving as trusted mentors to undergraduate students,” said Dean Andrew Houck. “Vice Dean Gabriele Villarini and I are proud to honor these students who have excelled in all areas of this work and are prepared to achieve even greater positive impact for humanity as they move forward in their careers.”
