The Engineering Foundation may award one Engineering Faculty Professionalism Award annually to an engineering faculty member in each engineering school in Louisiana with EAC/ABET accredited programs.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this award are to bring to the attention of all faculty, those members who are licensed professional engineers at their universities; to present licensure in a new light which should encourage faculty to work toward licensure and professionalism; and to benefit the students and the profession with the promotion of professionalism in the universities.

RULES

1. Full time faculty who are licensed professional engineers (P.E.) are eligible.

2. The Dean of Engineering at each school will coordinate the selection, which will be by vote of all eligible engineering faculty members at each school.

3. There will be no repeats of the award for an individual within a three-year period.

4. The selection should be based on NSPE’s “Professionalism for the Engineer”:

Professionalism For The Engineer Means …

 striving to improve his/her work until it becomes a model for those in his/her field, as a minimum using the most up-to date techniques and procedures,

 proper credit for work done and ideas developed by subordinates,

 loyalty to employer or client, always with concern for the public safety in construction, product design, plant operation, and all phases of engineering,

 leadership of less experienced colleagues and subordinates toward personal and professional development and an enthusiasm for the profession.

 activity in technical societies in order to keep current in his/her field, and encouragement of subordinates to improve their technical competence in the same way,

 participation also in professional societies, thereby demonstrating an interest in the profession as a demonstration to co- workers to recognize the technical and the professional, as of equal ranking importance,

 registration, not simply because it may be a legal requirement, but more particularly as a demonstration to co-workers and the public that this is one important hallmark of a professional, a willingness to go beyond the minimum to help and encourage others to realize their full potential.

 an overriding sensitivity to man’s interaction with the environment and ecological system so that all engineering efforts will benefit not only in the way of life but quality of life for this generation and generations to come.
