Asian American Engineer of the Year Awards (AAEOY)
Each year, CIE/USA National Council works with CIE local chapters to organize an annual awards event honoring outstanding Asian American leaders.
AAEOY creates a meaningful platform to recognize outstanding Asian American professionals in academia, public services and corporate entities for their personal achievements as well as for the significant contributions to their associated institution, our communities and our nation. Many of the recipients represent monumental breakthroughs in science and technology. The impacts are global and everlasting, and the results benefit all mankind.
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; Dr. Daniel Chee Tsui, 1998 Nobel Prize winner in Physics; Dr. Albert Y.C.
