Mid-Michigan Section Awards
The AIChE Mid-Michigan Section confers awards to deserving individuals on an annual basis. The awards are presented at the Spring Banquet. The awards are:
Chemical Engineer of the Year - This award is generally given to a distinguished chemical engineer in the Mid-Michigan Section who has achieved significant career accomplishments in the profession. Recipients usually have about 20-30 years of service following graduation. Publications, patents, company recognition of achievement, and accomplishments in the field of chemical engineering are key criteria for consideration. The individual must be an active participant in AIChE at either the local or national level to be considered. This is normally an annual award.
Young Chemical Engineer of the Year - This award recognizes service to AIChE, technical and professional expertise, and personal leadership that is superior for an early-career engineer. It's generally given to a person with approximately 4-12 years of service following graduation. This is normally an annual award.
Service to Society Award - This award recognizes long-time service to AIChE, service to the profession through technical expertise and role modeling for other engineers, and community activities that benefit area students and residents. Recipients usually have about 25-30 years of service following graduation. This is normally an annual award.
Noland Poffenberger Award - This award is given to a high-level manager who has shown great support of the Mid-Michigan Section by encouraging employees within the recipient's organization to participate in professional organizations such as AIChE. This award is given only when a suitable candidate exists.
