Distinctions and Awards

One of the sections in the UCLA FEMBA application asked for a list of "distinctions, honors, awards, and other recognitions of achievement", with the basis of the selection for each. The response had to fit within 21 lines of text.

Read on for my response.

Honeywell Key Contributor, special stock option award. This corporate-wide award was made in 2001, to individuals identified by leadership as a significant contributor to Honeywell's past success. It was a particularly high honor for an engineer (with three year tenure) to receive.

Reward and Recognition for technical leadership on the completion of Phase I of the NexSys project. This project delivered significant productivity gains for the computer-aided engineering groups. The design phase of the program finished in 1999.

Reward and Recognition for the design and development of a mode transition sequencer for the Honeywell Joint Strike Fighter subsystem, in 1999. This sequencer was regarded as an essential tool by the Lockheed-Martin JSF Controls product team.

National Science Foundation Fellowship, honorable mention. Awarded in 1997 by NSF, based on engineering research proposals.

Thrust 2000 Fellowship. Awarded, in 1996, by the University of Texas, to attract graduate students with the most potential for significant research.

Notre Dame Band citizenship award. Awarded, in 1996, to a senior band member for contributions to the organization throughout one's undergraduate years.
