Engineering alumni awards are given by the departments. Please contact the engineering department chairs if you have a nomination for an engineering alumni award.
These awards are given to celebrate the accomplishments of our engineering and computer science alumni. Normally two awards are given in each program each year, the Gold Award to an alumnus who graduated more than 10 years ago, and a Silver Award to an alumnus who graduated up to 10 year ago. Each individual engineering and computer science department’s faculty choose alumni who are successful in their field, dynamic leaders, and show a commitment to their profession and community.
Union College Engineering Outstanding Alumnus Award is presented to an outstanding engineering graduate who has advanced the College by providing recognition to Union in a national context. These recipients are outstanding examples of Union alumni with eminent careers that provide resources through personal or corporate support and provide service to academic or administrative needs of the college.
