Carlson Award for Innovation in Engineering Education from the American Society for Engineering Education. The award, to be presented at the organization's annual meeting in June, recognizes the professors' work on the Engineering Projects in Community Service program.
-- Adela Lozinska, Lafayette , has received the annual John C. Smalley Memorial Grant. The award was established in 1988 to encourage continuing education among clerical, service and administrative staff in the Housing and Food Services division. It pays up to $125 tuition toward coursework at Purdue or Ivy Tech State College. Lozinska is a food service worker at Cary Quadrangle Residence Hall.

The award is granted to individuals who have been a member of ASHRAE for 50 years, were a past society president, a fellow, a recipient of the Distinguished Service Award, or otherwise performed outstanding service for the society.
-- David Nolte, associate professor of physics, received the 1997 Ruth and Joel Spira Award for outstanding teaching of undergraduate physics. The award was based on his teaching of an honors laboratory in optics. Nolte also has been elected a Fellow of the Optical Society of America for "the demonstration and development of the science and applications of photorefractive semiconductor quantum wells."
-- Philip H. Swain, professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of Purdue's Office of Distance Learning, has been named Fellow of the American Society for Engineering Education. Fellow grade membership is the highest honor the organization bestows on its members.
-- Andrew Weiner, professor of electrical and computer engineering, will receive the Curtis W. McGraw Research Award from the American Society for Engineering Education at its annual meeting in June. The award recognizes outstanding researchers under the age of 40 who have made original contributions to their field. Weiner is being honored for his work in femtosecond optical pulse processing and the application of that technology to optics and optical communications.
