Past Recipients of the Award

 Purpose of the Award

To honor and recognize those who have made engineering contributions in research, development or design of food processes significant to the food industry; or in outstanding leadership, management or education to advance the food engineering profession.

The Award

The name of the award shall be the FPSA-FPEI Food Engineering Award. The sponsors of the award are the Food Processing Suppliers Association Foundation, 1451 Dolley Madison Boulevard, McLean, VA 22101-3850 and the Food and Process Engineering Institute of ASABE.

The FPSA-FPEI Food Engineering Award shall be presented annually; alternating between recognition of a "Distinguished" Food engineer in odd-numbered years, and an "Emerging" Food Engineer with less than ten years of practice - less than 10 years from the date of nominee's terminal degree (B.S., M.S., PhD) to the date of the nomination submission, to be presented in even-numbered years. The award includes a gold medal, a certificate, $2000 cash and the recipient's travel expenses to the annual conference of the International Association of Food Industry Suppliers for presentation of the award. The winner will also be honored with a plaque at the Annual International Meeting
of the Society.

Award recipients will be selected by a jury appointed by the M-154 FPSA-FPEI Food Engineering Award Committee with final approval by M-102 Awards Coordinating Committee.

NOTE:  Those nominating a candidate will be advised only if their candidate is selected. Each nominee will be considered two years later if not selected the year nominated. A candidate nominated for the "Emerging" Food Engineer award may only get one chance at selection because of the
10-year-practice rule.

Eligibility for the Award

The principal criteria to be used as a basis of selection for the award are:

• The degree to which human performance and progress in the application of engineering technology has been significantly advanced.
  
• The development of new and useful machines, processes or methods for the food industry.
  
• Leadership shown in the professional development of the food industry.
  
• The inspirational example of the individual's activities in the food industry, and food engineering
  profession.
