SAE International offers a series of awards to promote the education of engineering students, recognize outstanding SAE Collegiate Branches, and support the development of Formula SAE vehicles.

 

Henry O. Fuchs Student Award:

Established in 1991, this award recognizes a graduate or recently graduated student (i.e. post doctorate or new professor) that is working in the field of fatigue research and applications. The purpose of this award is to promote the education of engineering students in the area of fatigue technology.

This award honors the memory of Professor Henry O. Fuchs. Professor Fuchs participated in the SAE Fatigue Design & Evaluation Committee's research projects, was a member of the faculty who founded the SAE Fatigue Concepts in Design short course, published extensively in SAE and elsewhere in the technical community, and actively participated in the Surface Enhancement Division of the Committee which is responsible for many standards relating to surface treatments of metals for withstanding fatigue damage.

The award is made twice annually by the SAE Fatigue Design & Evaluation Committee and is granted to one graduate student. The award consists of a framed certificate, a $100 honorarium, and a transportation allowance to attend the SAE Fatigue Design & Evaluation Committee meeting where the award is presented. The student selected will be required to discuss his/her work related to the field of fatigue research and applications in the form of a one half hour presentation with time for questions and answers at the SAE Fatigue Design & Evaluation Committee meeting.

Honeywell Outstanding Collegiate Branch Award:

This award recognizes SAE Collegiate Branches for exemplary performance in the areas of technical meetings, networking opportunities, SAE Collegiate Design Series teams, membership and recruitment, and community service programs, like A World In Motion®. By participating in these activities, they will increase the value of SAE student membership and add to the stature of the SAE Collegiate Branch on campus and in the community. This award was established in 1963 and is administered by the Education Board.

​SAE Collegiate Branches are defined as a group of students at a given university that have a Faculty Advisor, 25 or more paid student members for at least three years in a row, and have submitted a slate of elected student officers to SAE International.

The Collegiate Branches selected as recipients will be recognized at the SAE World Congress each year where they will receive a plaque and a monetary prize.

Branches compete in one of three classes based on the number of paid student members:

    Class 1 (75+ student members) - $1000

    Class 2 (50 to 74 student members) - $850

    Class 3 (25 to 49 student members) - $600

 

In addition, there are Awards of Excellence ($100 each) that can be awarded to SAE Collegiate Branches that excel in certain areas (such as meetings, projects, membership and recruitment) but did not qualify for the entire Outstanding Collegiate Branch Award. The number of awards in each class is left to the discretion of the judges.

 

Awards will be based upon the following criteria:

    Membership, Organization, Planning and Finances - 30%

    Meetings - 20%

    Projects - 20%

    Involvement - 25%

    Innovation - 5%

Each of these areas is described in depth on the application.

Myers Award for Outstanding Student Paper:

Established in 1997, this award is given annually for the best technical paper presented by a student. The paper must be based on work done by the lead author(s) while a student.

Technical papers presented from June through May of the following year are eligible for the award annually.

The award recognizes the late Dr. Phil Myers and his wife Jean for their lifelong devotion to students and SAE. Myers was a renowned expert on internal combustion engines, and before his retirement, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Together with his wife, they set a high standard for excellence, concern for students, and involvement with SAE.
