4. To help the EOY/YEOY Selection Committee do the best possible job, we recommend that the nomination packages contain specific and detailed information in the areas of “Engineering and Professional Achievement” and “Professional Experience and Contributions.” The types of information, which should be described in narrative form, include:
- Specific demonstrations of increased responsibility on projects over time
- Growth in content of engineering contributions
- Progression from being supervised to performing supervisory functions or progression in technical competency
- Advancement of the business or enterprise
- Benefit to clients
It is important to list not just projects on which the nominee has worked but the significance of the project and her/his contributions to the project. Several well-chosen items, more fully described, are more helpful to the Selection Committee than a longer list with little or no description.
5. Applicants must be 35 years of age or younger as of January 1, 2021 to be eligible.
6. Applicants must be a licensed Professional Engineer or Certified Engineer Intern in the State of Vermont.
