Aviation Week Network, in collaboration with the American\nInstitute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), has announced the winners of\nits awards program, \u201cTomorrow\u2019s Technology Leaders: The 20 Twenties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The awards recognize students earning STEM degrees who are\nnominated by their universities on the basis of their academic performance,\ncivic contribution and research or design project. Most importantly, the\nprogram brings together technology hiring managers, students and faculty around\nthe world to recognize what\u2019s needed for business and academic success. The\nstudents begin building a network comprised of the technical experts who have\nbuilt the industry, the universities gain visibility for high-quality\neducational opportunity provided to the students, and hiring managers gain knowledge\nabout the best of the best in the next generation of aerospace talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe believe cultivating the next-generation is vitally\nimportant. These students are all doing innovative work to solve challenges\nwithin our industry and we\u2019re thrilled to recognize them as winners of the\nprestigious 20 Twenties program,\u201d said Greg Hamilton, President, Aviation Week\nNetwork. \u201cWe look forward to celebrating them as well as their academic\ntalents, high-value research and civic service this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe passion and dedication to community service mark these\nwinners as 20 future leaders of aerospace,\u201d said Dan Dumbacher, AIAA executive\ndirector. \u201cWe can expect them to bring fresh ideas to the challenges facing us\nboth here on Earth and beyond our solar system. We look forward to following\ntheir accomplishments and how they shape the future of aeronautics and\nastronautics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
