Dr. Nancy Lowery, a recently retired faculty member of the Sacred Heart High School and head of the Science Department, is the recipient of the IEEE Canadian Atlantic Section's Outstanding Engineering Education Award recently.
This Outstanding Engineering Education Award has been created by the Section only recently. IEEE-CAS provides the Outstanding Engineering Education Award, in the form of a plaque and citation, to an outstanding individual who has "shared his or her professional and educational abilities, and, in doing so, has made an outstanding contribution to engineering education within the territory of the Canadian Atlantic Section." The award will be handed out for the first time this year. Dr. Lowery will be the first recipient. Dr. Lowery's accomplishments were brought to the attention of the IEEE-CAS Awards Committee by Dr. Mae Seto, a current Sacred Heart parent.
IEEE, pronounced "Eye-triple-E," stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE is the world's largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity (www.ieee.org). IEEE and its members inspire a global community through IEEE's highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities. The IEEE-CAS actively supports, inter alia, the IEEE Teacher In-Service Program, TISP (www.tryengineering.org) and, through TISP Canada, issues a quarterly newsletter, the TISP Canada Courier (copies at www.ieee.ca/tisp).
The award ceremony took place December 6th as part of the IEEE-Canadian Atlantic Section's Annual General Meeting. The Awards Committee gratefully acknowledges the role of Dr. Seto.
