BEYA HONOREES ENERGIZE THEIR COMPANIES AND COMMUNITIES ALIKE


he Black Engineer of the Year Award, along with others presented during the ceremony on Saturday, recognizes “true pioneers who have achieved exceptional career gains in government and industry, who have already merited lifetime achievement recognition, and who have energized their companies and their communities alike.” BEYA’s top award is the Black Engineer of the Year. Twenty other category award winners are also recognized for innovation, career advancement and diversity programs. BEYA brings close involvement of corporate officers with HBCU deans and students. The HBCU Engineering Dean’s Roundtable has fostered cooperation between hiring officers and even a new industry-academic partnership: AMIE (Advancing


Minorities Interest in Engineering). Scholarships, internships, donation of laboratory equipment and loans of professionals for faculty positions have all come out of the connection. BEYA is the brainchild of Career Communications Group


CEO Tyrone Taborn, who also publishes a number of diversity titles including US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine. “Tyrone’s vision is inextricably linked to democracy and


America’s economic system, and our responsibility to it is real- ized not just for black America, Hispanic America or Native America but for America,” Ted Childs said. BEYA’s first event was held February 1987 at Morgan State University in Baltimore.
