Exceptional Technical Achievement Award

 

Nominations Period for 2013 CPMT Society Awards is closed

Purpose:

To recognize an individual, or group of individuals (no more than three), for exceptional technical achievement in the fields encompassed by the CPMT Society.

Award:

US$2,500 and Certificate

Basis for judging:

Technical contributions of the nominee(s) must be such that they are considered to be exceptional, not achieved by most members. A single major contribution will qualify for this award. The contribution could be a significant invention, introduction of a significantly new and important technology or product (in which case, the nominee may be a team leader), or significant work that advances the state-of-the-art in CPMT's field of interest. The technical contributions must be documented by open literature publications such as papers, patents, books, and reports (available to the public). Technical recognition and awards from the organization employing the individual as well as awards from other IEEE and non-IEEE technical societies may also be contributory.

 Eligibility:

Recipient(s) must be a current member of IEEE and CPMT, and have been a member of IEEE and CPMT for at least the past three years.
