By Heather Nachtmann, Ph.D., ASEM Past President
It was a pleasure to lead the 2017 ASEM award process. It is humbling and exciting to see the contributions our members are making to the engineering management community. Through my ASEM executive committee service, I get the opportunity to work with members of our leadership team as they dedicate their time to ASEM. What I do not get to see is their careers and their investments in the broad EM community outside of ASEM. Each year I am impressed with our nominees and winners of our Engineering Management of the Year award, and this year’s recipient NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Director Todd May clearly exemplified the great work one can accomplish when one brings engineering management skills to a leadership position. I am always so proud when I review the nomination packets of our ASEM Fellows and get to see the contributions our new Fellows are making and have made to their employers and communities. Also of particular note is the accomplishments of our students. Each year the best student paper and best dissertation competitions become increasingly competitive and it is impressed to see the quality of student our EM programs are producing. We are very proud of all the 2017 ASEM award winners and are pleased to have this opportunity to recognize their efforts.
Congratulations to the ASEM 2017 Award Winners!
