CEE Awards Dinner and Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony | Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Hall of Fame was initiated at the department’s awards banquet on Friday, April 28. The Hall of Fame seeks to honor alumni and friends of the department who have made significant contributions to the engineering profession and positively reflected this on the University of Tennessee, the Tickle College of Engineering, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The inaugural class consisted of all 23 former recipients of the Outstanding Alumni Award, which began in 1995. Dr. Edwin G. Burdette, Professor Emeritus of the department was also inducted as a member of the inaugural class.

Each inductee, with UT graduation dates dating back to 1957, was commemorated with a plaque, which together will make up the department’s Hall of Fame wall on the fourth floor of the John D. Tickle building. In addition to the alumni honored at the event, 19 awards were given to faculty, staff, and students in honor of outstanding contributions to the department over the past academic year. The full list of award recipients is as follows.
