ABOUT AAEOY

Asian American Engineer of the Year (AAEOY) award, is a national annual recognition platform to honor outstanding Asian American professionals in Science and Engineering for their technical, leadership and public services achievements. As a part of the Discover E (previously known as National Engineers Week) program, AAEOY was first introduced in 2002. This event has since become a prestigious and important forum for Corporate America, Academia, and Government entities in promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities. AAEOY Awardees are role models and source of inspiration for all Americans STEM communities. Since 2002, hundreds of Asian-American professionals from leading US corporations, prestigious research institutions, government branches as well as US Armed Forces have been selected as the recipients of this prestigious Award. In addition, special “Distinguished Awards” were also presented to honor and celebrate the achievements of Asian Americans with global statures and influences. Past Distinguished Awardees included Nobel Laureates, scholars, academia leaders, key corporate executives and astronauts.
