First Annual New Faces of Engineering College Edition

Recognizes the Most Promising

Engineering Professionals of Tomorrow

WASHINGTON DC, (December 5, 2011)– Reflecting the increasingly critical role engineers are destined to play in shaping the world of tomorrow, 15 of the most promising college engineering students from the United States – and across the world - have been recognized by National Engineers Week Foundation and its partners, through its first annual New Faces of Engineering College Edition.

Since 2003, National Engineers Week Foundation has honored young engineering professionals with its New Faces of Engineering award. This is the first year the popular initiative has expanded to recognize the best and brightest college engineering students.

The 15 winners, all third, fourth or fifth year engineering students, represent a cross-section of interests, specialties and backgrounds. Winners are recognized for academic excellence, leadership within student organizations, outstanding communication skills, non-engineering related community service and involvement in the engineering industry.

Winners include students from the University of Lagos and British University in Egypt. One winner is leading a team of 100 engineering students to develop ways to make the world more sustainable. Others tutor and mentor children in their communities, thus inspiring the next generation of engineers. Winners include past participants in National Engineers Week Programs, such as Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day.
