Richland's IEEE Power Engineering Society Wins Outstanding Chapter Award
Henry Huang, Ning Zhou and Kevin Schneider played a leadership role in a big win for the Richland Chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power Engineering Society (PES). In June, the Chapter was presented the 2006 Outstanding Small Chapter Award. Each year, IEEE-PES honors one small chapter (less than 100 members) and one large chapter out of more than 100 chapters world wide. The award is given based on the best overall set of programs and activities in serving their chapter's membership.
Huang, Zhou and Schneider, the members of the Chapter's 2005-2006 Executive Committee, held 23 technical meetings including a 10-session Profession Engineer Exam review course. In addition, they supported two engineering scholarships at Washington State University Tri-Cities campus and Walla Walla College. (announced 7/1/2007)
