Each year the IEEE Albuquerque Section, in collaboration with the UNM Sigma Xi Chapter, recognizes the efforts of its membership to improve the organization and bring merit to our profession.

In previous years, the awards have been presented during the annual banquet. This year, we will not have a banquet due to COVID but we followed the award selection process and we this year’s awardees clearly reflect the spirit of the awards.

We hope that we can resume our in-person annual banquet in 2022 and we will post any news as soon as we progress on our planning.

• IEEE Outstanding Graduate Engineering Student: Justin Smith
