ISPE FEDERAL ENGINEER OF THE YEAR AWARD


Reasons to Join | Accomplishments | Governance


FEDERAL ENGINEER OF THE YEAR AWARD

This honor is to be awarded to an engineer employed by a Federal agency (i.e., any United States government agency) that employs at least 50 engineers worldwide. Candidates are nominated by their employing federal agency and if received by ISPE, they will be forwarded to NSPE for consideration as NSPE Federal Engineer of the Year. ISPE will consider all ISPE member nominees for recognition as the ISPE Federal Engineer of the Year, using the same criteria applicable for the NSPE Federal Engineer of the Year award.

Criteria/Method of Selection

The award criteria for selection of the ISPE Federal Engineer of the Year (must be an ISPE member) will be the same as that used for the NSPE Federal Engineer of the Year Award. The criteria can be found on the NSPE web site at http://www.nspe.org/InterestGroups/PEG/Resources/AwardsAndScholarships/feya.html.

All Federal ( US government) agencies employing at least 50 engineers worldwide are eligible to compete. Individual agency nominees must be presently engaged in the practice of engineering as an employee of the federal government in either managerial or technical positions. Only licensed professional engineers (PE or EIT) who are an ISPE member are eligible for nomination as ISPE Federal Engineer of the Year.

All nominations must be a typed original on the official form. Nominations must be submitted to ISPE for the ISPE award. The official form can be found on the NSPE web site at http://www.nspe.org/InterestGroups/PEG/Resources/AwardsAndScholarships/feya.html .

Cabinet-level departments with major subordinate commands or agencies may submit one overall nomination or subordinate agencies may submit nominations individually provided they qualify under the prescribed eligibility. If subordinate agencies compete individually, all nominations must be processed through the appropriate incentive awards office of the major cabinet-level department and the major department may not enter a separate nomination for the department. However, agencies and commands may also submit a military and a civilian nominee. If the department wishes to enter a single nominee from among the candidates from subordinate agencies, the department is responsible for the selection of its departmental nominee.

The ISPE Federal Engineer of the Year will be selected by the ISPE Honors and Awards Committee using the criteria below. The NSPE Federal Engineer of the Year will be selected by a panel of judges established by the NSPE Professional Engineers in Government, using the following criteria:

Education                                                          5 points
