          GUIDELINES FOR NEEDHA AWARDS

The two primary recognitions to be awarded by NEEDHA at the annual conference
are the OUTSTANDING SERVICE AWARD and the INNOVATIVE PROGRAM AWARD.  If 
during a given year sufficiently meritorious individuals or programs can not
be identified, it is not necessary to make the corresponding award.

Outstanding Service Award

This award is given to an individual with a sustained record of service to
NEEDHA (primary) and to electrical and computer engineering (secondary).  
The individual recognized by this award need not be a member of NEEDHA at the
time of the award, nor is it necessary for a candidate to have been a department
head, but preference will be given to candidates who have made significant 
contributions to NEEDHA.

Innovative Program Award

This award is given to individual(s) or department (s) that has (have) created,
implemented, and sustained the implementation of a successful innovative 
program and possibly assisted in the implementation of that program at other
institutions.  A successful program is one that has stood the test of time
(i.e., formal integration into a program of study) and has produced measurable
improvements in the quality of the electrical and computer education
received by a significant number of students at one or more institutions.
