Award Guidelines & Nomination Details
The IFEES Duncan Fraser Global Award for Excellence in Engineering Education recognizes individuals who have made innovative and meritorious contributions with a significant impact on the advancement of engineering education. IFEES encourages nominations of outstanding candidates from all regions of the world.
IFEES will accept nominations between April 13 and July 13, 2020.
The 2020 Global Award is scheduled to be presented at the IFEES annual awards dinner during the World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF) in Cape Town, South Africa from November 15th through 20th, 2020 (weef2020.org). The winner will receive a medal, a citation, a one-time monetary prize of US $1,000, a roundtrip, economy class air ticket, and three nights lodging to receive the award. Should the current COVID-19 situation necessitate cancellation of the awards dinner, the winner will still be announced as scheduled but will be honored at a later time.
Nomination Process
Members of the IFEES community are encouraged to nominate an individual who they believe falls within the criteria of having provided extraordinary leadership and impact in engineering education.
It is not necessary for the nominee to be a member of an IFEES member society; however, the nominator must be the representative of an active IFEES member society. A list of member representatives is available on the member section of our website. The nominator may nominate only one individual for the award.
It is critical that all nominators spend some time providing evidence regarding the measurable impact made by each nominee in the area of engineering education.
Please refer to the nomination guidelines before submitting the nomination form. Nominations must be submitted in English. If you need assistance, have questions, or are unsure of an IFEES member who can endorse your nomination, please contact Hans Jürgen Hoyer.
