Trevor Devine, a senior in chemical and petroleum engineering, was awarded the 斯旺森工程学院’s George Washington Prize.

“Since 1880 the Engineers’ Society of Western Pennsylvania has been uniting professionals who build the world around us and advance the human condition, and we are proud of our faculty and students who have been recognized by this historic organization,” said 詹姆斯·r·马丁二世, U.S. Steel Dean of 工程.

乔治·华盛顿奖设立于2008年，旨在表彰美国首任总统和该国首位工程师。 Its mission is to reinforce the importance of engineering and technology in society, and enhance the visibility of the profession across the Swanson School’s engineering disciplines. 该年度奖项旨在表彰由八名专业工程师和斯旺森学院教师组成的委员会确定的表现出色的领导能力，奖学金和表现。 Winners receive a $2,500 Dean’s Fellowship and award plaque. An additional $7,500 is awarded if the winner attends graduate school at the University of 匹兹堡.

The George Washington Prize finalists include McKenzie Sicke and Timothy Wroge. Semi-finalists include Katherine Dunkelberger, Chloe Feast and Alexander Short.
