About the Award

The awards are presented the Friday evening of Engineers’ Week, typically in mid-March. For each recipient the citation is read, the award is presented and a response is given. The presentation of up to five awards per year may be considered. Both technical organizations and individuals are eligible to receive the awards. Nominations for the awards are received and reviewed by an awards committee of previous recipients. The committee recommends nominations to the faculty for approval. The nominations are then submitted to the MU Chancellor for final approval. The Dean contacts the approved nominees and determines their ability to receive the award and participate in the ceremony.

History

In the spring of 1950, Dean Huber O. Croft appointed an awards committee of the faculty of the College of Engineering to study a means of recognizing and honoring the outstanding works of alumni and their colleagues in engineering. The recommended plan is now being followed to award  the ‘Missouri Honor Award for Distinguished Service in Engineering’. The plan was officially recognized by the University of Missouri Board of Curators at its March 8, 1951, meeting.

The award is represented by a bronze medal (3 and 1/2 inches in diameter). The front of the medal is a laurel wreath encasing the words “University of Missouri” and the date. Also on the medal are the recipient’s name and the honor, “for Distinguished Service in Engineering.” On the back are the words, “Engineering Foundation, College of Engineering” and the year in which the award was made. The Columns and the Engineering Building are also depicted on the medal.
