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 help create new knowledge, make discoveries, and advance the state of where we as a species are in terms of what we know. They also play an integral role in disseminating that knowledge as teachers to all of our undergraduates,” said Dean Andrew Houck. “Vice Dean Gabriele Villarini and I are delighted to honor these students for their essential contributions to the academic enterprise, and we know they will have even greater impacts as they move forward in their careers.”
