Each year, the Department of Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering at Boise State is asked to nominate two juniors for the Idaho Society of Professional Engineers. Based on these nominations, the two students are interviewed by ISPE and an outstanding junior from our department will be awarded a prize at a special virtual reception on Tuesday, February 23 at 12:30 PM. To register for the Engineers Week Celebration, visit nspe-id.org.
Several students were on our first list of potential nominees. Criteria include academics, leadership, involvement, internships, etc.
