Woz Elected To National Academy Of Engineering
by , 10:00 AM EST, February 19th, 2002
Observer Leslie Baker tipped us off to the fact that last Friday, the National Academy of Engineering honored 81 people from the United States and around the world by electing them as associates and members of the Academy. Among them was Steve Wozniak, cited for 'the invention and development of the first mass-produced personal computer.'
The press release states:
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is one of the highest professional distinctions that can be accorded an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made "important contributions to engineering theory and practice" and those who have demonstrated "unusual accomplishment in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology."
The Academy is an independent and non-profit institution, providing advice and support to the Federal Government on engineering and scientific matters, and conducting its own independent studies. New members are elected to the Academy by the existing members, of which there are now over 1,800.
The Mac Observer Spin:
Among the Academy's members are people like Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Dean Kamen, Amar G. Bose, Neil Armstrong, and yes - you guessed it - Bill Gates. Despite all the fuss that has surrounded Woz since Apple 'hit the big time,' recognition from his peers in the engineering community is an incredible honor and long overdue.Observer Comments
