Founded in 1987 by
proclamation of the governor, and in recognition of the sesquicentennial of formal
engineering education in the state of Alabama, the Engineering Hall of Fame honors,
preserves, and perpetuates the outstanding accomplishments and contributions of
individuals, projects, and corporations/institutions that have brought and continue to
bring significant recognition to the State of Alabama.

Permanent archives
will be established and maintained for the collection and display of memorabilia related
to the lives, accomplishments, and contributions of those chosen for induction into the
Engineering Hall of Fame. The office of the Board of Registration for Professional
Engineers and Land Surveyors in Montgomery, Alabama, provides temporary quarters for the
Hall of Fame display.
|
The Engineering Hall
of Fame is governed by a 20-member board of directors. This body establishes the criteria
for selecting inductees, and determines the eligibility of candidates and how these
candidates shall be elected to the Engineering Hall of Fame. All candidates must meet
criteria established by the board for each category. Currently, there are three such
categories: Individuals, Corporations/Institutions, and Projects.
|
Nominations for
induction into the Engineering Hall of Fame are made by open call and by the members of
the Engineering Hall of Fame Nominating Committee. This body is representative of most
geographic areas and major engineering fields in Alabama. A selection committee, drawn
from the membership of the nominating committee, designates those nominees who are to be
inducted in a given year. Nominees who are not selected are held in the active file for
consideration in succeeding years. This file contains biographical and other data on many
outstanding individuals, corporations/institutions, and projects.
|
The board of directors
is extremely proud of those who have been inducted into the State of Alabama Engineering
Hall of Fame. Individually and collectively, they have made and continue to make
significant contributions to the advancement of engineering and technology, leading to an
enhanced economic, cultural, and political future for the state and nation. By their
selection and example, they serve as symbols inspiring others to pursue rewarding and
challenging careers in all engineering fields.
