2006 AAEOY Flyer

Chinese Institute of Engineers, USA (CIE/USA) is proud to co-sponsor the National Engineers Week 2006 and is currently working with other national engineering societies such as the National E-Week Steering Committee to plan and develop many exciting programs. A highlight of the E-Week 2006 celebration in Seattle is the Asian American Engineer of the Year (AAEOY) Award Banquet which will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2006 at the Hilton Seattle Airport Conference Center.

The AAEOY Award Banquet is the only program of its kind in conjunction with the celebration of National Engineers Week in the United States. One of the primary goals of this award program is to create a meaningful platform to recognize outstanding Asian American professionals in academe, public services and corporate entities for their great contributions to our nation and communities. This is the fifth consecutive year that CIE/USA hosts this great event, but it is the first time in Seattle, the great Puget Sound region. 

A Job Fair/Exhibition is also planned for our sponsors during the day of the event.  We believe the Job Fair/Exhibition creates an opportunity to make connections between our sponsors and outstanding engineering talent for possible assignment in the United States and Asian Pacific region. 

In addition to honoring Asian-American engineers, scientists and corporate leaders at the award banquet, two special recognitions, one for the Lifetime Achievement Award and the other, the Distinguished Science & Technology Award will be presented.  Previous award recipients include Dr. Leo Esaki, the 1973 Nobel Prize winner in Physics; Dr. Chang-Lin Tien, former chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley; Dr. Samuel Ting, the 1976 Nobel Prize winner in Physics; Dr. Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel Prize winner in Physics; Dr. Yuan-Cheng Fung, Prof. Emeritus, Dept of Bioengineering at Univ. of Calif., San Diego and Dr. Daniel Chee Tsui, 1998 Nobel Prize winner in Physics.  

This historical event has received strong corporate, community, academic and government support.  Major sponsors who have already signed up for the 2006 AAEOY event include IBM, Cisco, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, GM, BP, United State Navy, Texas Instruments,  Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory & Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.  Nearly 600 distinguished guests, honorees, corporate executives and community leaders are expected to attend the award banquet.
