MESA Achievement Award
This MESA Committee shall be responsible for conducting a ballot to select a recipient for the MESA Achievement Award. The selection of an individual to receive this award will be made on the following basis.
The Award is given for a cumulative contribution to the field of Mechatronic and Embedded Systems and Applications.
The Award is to be made once a year.
An individual may receive the Award only one time. Members of the
MESA Executive Committee cannot be nominated to receive the Award while they are members of the MESA Executive Committee.
The Award shall consist of a suitably engrossed certificate laminated in wood and an honorarium.
The mechanics for identifying, selecting and nominating the recipient is as follows.
-
The Chair of the Honors and Awards Subcommittee shall poll the
MESA Committee members for recommendations of tentative possible recipients of the Award.

The list obtained from this poll shall be circulated to the members of the MESA
Executive Committee requesting that each of them designate their first, second and third choices; returning said choices to the
Honors and Awards Chair.
-
The total vote will be tallied by giving three points for a first choice, two points for a second choice, and one point for a third choice.
-
The individual receiving the highest tally shall be the recipient of the Award. In the event of a tie, the
Honors and Awards Chair
shall request another vote from the members to break the tie.
