Many teachers, companies and individuals in the public and private sectors have made outstanding contributions in the arena of engineering. Endowed chairs and professorships honor their efforts and help ensure that future generations of engineers are equally accomplished. The generosity of MSU Engineering alumni and friends has resulted in the establishment of a number of endowed faculty positions. In recognitiion of commitment to engineering education, Medals of Distinction are being presented to those providing the endowments and to those selected for the faculty positions, as they are filled. We are proud to recognize them here.
