ECP AWARDS

George Washington Medal

The Club has been awarding the Washington Medal since 1967 for outstanding contribution to technological progress through engineering management. Traditionally, recognition has been given for technical work; the Club had decided that engineers were contributing to industry in roles far beyond their original technical and scientific endeavors. The George Washington Medal is awarded to an individual for outstanding contribution to technological progress through engineering management and for exemplary support of such technological progress by key decision-makers outside the engineering field. While technological progress is frequently a team effort there is usually an individual who was key in managing the overall effort. It is for this effort that the award is presented.

 

Past Recipients

 

*The leadership provided by Greg, Ray, Barry, and Keith Bentley, while more than one person, is different from any other type of team effort, and so it was only fitting that all four be presented with the medal.

Mulford Volunteerism Award

The Mulford Volunteerism Award was initiated in 2013, to be presented for exemplary service to the Engineers’ Club or Philadelphia Engineering Foundation.  The award was named to honor Richard A. Mulford, PE, one of the key volunteers who has served in many and various roles in both the Club and Foundation since the 1950's, including his tenure as the volunteer Executive Director of the Club for nearly 20 years starting in the early 1990's. Richard A. Mulford passed away.
