The young and the efficient

New Faces of Engineering deadline is Nov. 2

By staff reports

IIE would like to honor a young industrial engineer for National Engineers Week next year, but it needs your help. So the institute is accepting applications for the 2013 New Faces of Engineering-Professional.

IIE and other engineering societies work with the National Engineers Week Foundation each year to honor young engineers who are contributing significantly to society. The program also aims to promote the image of engineering globally.

The IIE nomination criteria follow:

• Nominees must be 30 years old or younger as of Dec. 31.
• Nominees must be members of IIE.
• Nominees must have a degree in industrial engineering from an ABET-accredited U.S. college or university or from an equivalent international educational institution.

The selected nominee will be featured in an advertisement in USA Today or another national publication during National Engineers Week, which is Feb. 17-23, 2013.

The nomination form is available at www.iienet.org/faces13. The deadline to submit nominations is Nov. 2. Email nomination forms and accompanying materials to Monica Elliott at melliott@iienet.org or mail them to her attention at 3577 Parkway Lane, Suite 200, Norcross, GA 30092.

For questions about the program, criteria or nomination process, contact Elliott or Anne Squire, Engineers Week New Faces program manager, at asquire@nspe.org.
