2020 Distinguished Engineers

As you may have heard, the university has recently decided to move all classes online and has canceled university events through mid-April, therefore we have decided to follow suit. In order to err on the side of caution and remain proactive, our annual spring events on April 23-24, including the Dean's Reception and Distinguished Engineer luncheon, have been canceled. The health and safety of all members of the Texas Tech University community and our alumni and friends are our primary concern at this time. As we move forward, we anticipate rescheduling these events for the fall; we will remain in touch and diligent about keeping everyone up to date on future plans.

In the meantime, please join us in congratulating our 2020 Distinguished Engineers and Young Distinguished Engineers:

About the Distinguished Engineer Award

The Distinguished Engineer Award was established during the 1966–1967 academic year to recognize the most outstanding former students of the Whitacre College of Engineering. Since that time, 230 former students of the Whitacre College of Engineering have received this honor. Recipients of the award must be distinguished in their profession, an inspiration to their peers, and have demonstrated a continuing interest in areas outside the field of engineering.
