The Quad City Engineering and Science Council (QCESC) originally established its awards program in 1966. The purpose of the awards is to pay tribute and recognize engineering, science, and technical professionals, educators and volunteers whose exceptional achievements and outstanding contributions have made a lasting impact on technology, society, their profession and community. This includes helping to promote and raise the awareness of engineering and science in our local communities (Iowa - Illinois Quad Cities region).
General Information:
1. Any technical society, business, organization, or individual may submit as many nominations as they wish. Multiple nominations of the same person will not enhance the chances of winning the award.
2. Please note that if a candidate previously won the award being applied for, that candidate will be excluded from consideration for that award.

do not self-nominate. QCESC is looking for candidates to be nominated and recognized by others.
