President's Committees
Awards
Each year SWE provides
recognition to its members on both the individual and Section basis. Individual awards include Distinguished
New Engineer, Distinguished Engineering Educator, Achievement, Entrepreneur, Rodney
Chipp, Upward Mobility, and Fellow.
Section awards are given for educational and professional programs,
communications (publicity, website, newsletter), upward mobility (diversity),
and membership. The Awards
Committee is responsible for identifying members for the individual awards and
submitting the applications on their behalf, as well as identifying the Section
award applications to be submitted by the appropriate Section officers.
DCCEAS
The District of Columbia Council of Engineering
and Architectural Societies (DCCEAS) serves as a communication vehicle for many
technical and professional societies in the Baltimore-Washington area. SWE-BWS distributes information about
upcoming meetings of other member societies, giving SWE members an opportunity
to learn about the many events in our area. The Baltimore-Washington Section has
been one of the over thirty DCCEAS member societies for many years and is
allowed two delegate positions on the council. Delegates attend monthly meetings
and serve as a conduit for information to flow between SWE and the council.
DCCEAS activities include co-sponsoring National Engineers Week, assisting the
district Government in searching for and selecting outstanding individuals to
be members of the Board of Registration, an annual student paper competition,
and Annual Minorities in Science & Technology (MIST) Career Fair. SWE also
nominates members for Engineer and Young Engineer of the Year awards, which are
presented at the annual National Engineers Week banquet in February. For
