The UH Engineering Alumni Association hosted a reception during National Engineers Week to celebrate how engineers make a difference, and to support UH engineering students who will be the future engineers to continue the legacy. About 200 engineering alumni, faculty, staff, students, and supporters enjoyed the reception where 39 UH engineering students and 3 student organizations received awards from local companies (ExxonMobil, FMC Technologies, Bayer, Grant Prideco, Kalsi Engineering Inc, Reliant Energy, BP, Exponent Failure Analysis Associates Inc, INTEC Engineering, Shell Oil Company, TCB, and Total Petrochemicals USA Inc), the UH Engineering Alumni Association, and local engineering organizations (IEEE, IIE, NSBE, and SWE). A total of $12,350 in awards was presented. The “Who Wants To Be an ENGINEER” performance (spin-off of “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” TV show) was performed by alumni and students. Since SWE (Society of Women Engineers) was co-chair of National Engineers Week, the UH-SWE student organization was selected to assist at the reception.

Before the reception, the UH Engineering Alumni Association hosted an engineering outreach competition and essay contest that was open to all UH engineering students and student organizations. The winners of the competition and contest were presented during the Engineering Outreach/Essay Awards part of the reception.
