On March 11th, 2015, the American Council of Engineering Companies of New Jersey hosted their 44th Annual Engineering Excellence Awards. The School of Engineering had two award winners at the event: Dean Steven Schreiner won the Educator of the Year award and Michael Sebok, junior Mechanical Engineering major, was recognized as a 2015 Scholarship winner.
The Educator of the Year award recognizes contributions and dedicated to engineering education. Dean Schreiner has been involved with ACECNJ for the past few years, serving as a judge for the Engineering Excellence Awards. According to their website, the awards “recognize and celebrate engineering achievements that demonstrate the highest degree of skill and ingenuity among firms throughout the state of New Jersey.” Dean Schreiner recognizes the value of maintaining a strong relationship between TCNJ and ACECNJ and is always pleased to see TCNJ alumni at this event each year.
The ACECNJ awards over $15,000 to students intending to become engineers. Michael Sebok, pictured below, was one of three New Jersey scholarship winners.
The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) includes council members representing more than 5,000 firms and more than 500,000 employees throughout the country. The Council’s mission is to contribute to America’s prosperity and welfare by advancing the business interests of member firms. ACEC’s roots date back to 1909 when a small group of engineers in private practice established the American Institute of Consulting Engineers (AICE), the forerunner of ACEC. Today ACEC is a large federation of 51 state and regional councils representing the great breadth of America’s engineering industry. ACEC member firms employ hundreds of thousands of engineers, architects, land surveyors, scientists, and other specialists, responsible for more than $200 billion of private and public works annually.
