Power Engineering Awards 2026

The Power Engineering Awards Program exists to motivate undergraduate and graduate students to pursue academic degrees in the field of power engineering. Each year, new students are chosen to receive the award. The awards hope to bring College of Engineering students together to become highly involved with power engineering faculty, to develop students who are highly qualified to enter the field of engineering, and to encourage students who already have or are likely to make significant research or contributions to the field of power engineering.
