2010 Distinguished Service Award
Abstract
The recipient of tonight’s Distinguished Service Award has been a member of ASEE for over forty years. During that time, he has taught Engineering Graphics and Descriptive Geometry at Universities in three different states. His loyalty and dedication to the Engineering Design Graphics Division is underscored by his service as a past Division Chair, and as Program Chair for numerous EDG midyear meetings going back three decades. A special distinction concerning tonight’s ceremony is that our recipient’s father received this same Distinguished Service Award 34 years ago. In addition to an accomplished career as a college educator and author, our recipient has served his country both in active Army duty, including a tour in Vietnam, and in the U.S. Army Reserves, attaining the rank of Colonel. It is my pleasure to introduce a long-time colleague and humble servant of the Engineering Design Graphics Division, a true American patriot, and a fellow citizen of the state of Texas, Ron Paré.
