The Outstanding Technical Contribution Award and the Outstanding Professional Service Award are the highest awards offered by the Aerospace Division. These are awarded based on nominations from division committees, and selection by the Executive Committee.
Outstanding Technical Contribution Award
Given to an individual who has contributed substantially to advancing the state of the art in aerospace engineering, sciences and technology, and space exploration and construction with application to civil engineering.
Outstanding Professional Service Award
Given to an individual who has contributed substantially by an objective and lasting achievement in improving the conditions under which civil engineers advance aerospace sciences and technology and space exploration and construction.
Rob Mueller was the recipient of both awards in 2016.
