Engine Impact Award

This is an ICE Division award that honors internal combustion engine related research and development that has been put into practice towards a commercial product develop by industry. This award is specifically created to recognize researchers in industry who have made tremendous contributions to the ICE community. Since industry researchers may not be able to publish their work, this award is designed to acknowledge their achievements. The recipient need not be a member of the ICE division, but we hope that they would engage with the division in some capacity.
