UW Engineering Society

Paul & Paula Plummer Award
The Paul and Paula Plummer Award is the most revered award of the engineering society. It is presented to those who have contributed to the benefit of the Engineering Society in a manner deemed to be outstanding and commendable, and who have shown a genuine caring for school spirit and the status of student life within the faculty of engineering.

The award is typically presented to fourth-year students who have demonstrated an outstanding level of commitment to the engineering society throughout their years at UW. It is also presented to members of the faculty, administration, or community who fit these criteria.  The award is presented each winter at Grad Ball to a chosen few, as voted by the engineering society council and ultimately selected by the engineering society president.
 

President's Awards
President's Awards are presented to those students who, over the course of a term, went the extra mile and made admirable, lasting contributions to the Engineering Society. The award is presented at the last Engineering Society meeting of each term (the Potluck meeting).
 

Paul Harlick Award
Your class elects representatives to the Engineering Society. Some class reps go psycho-gung-ho and blow everyone away with how many classmates they get to participate in Engineering Society or class events. To reward such outstanding effort by class reps, the Paul Harlick Award is presented to the most outstanding class reps each term.

Paul Harlick was a member of the Mechanical Engineering class of 1973, and a class rep. During his 3A term, Paul's constant effort led his class to the P**5 championship. His untimely death while he and his classmates attempted to pull off yet another amazing stunt prompted the Engineering Society to establish an award to honour his memory and remind us of the spirit that he, as a class rep, helped foster in others.
