IISE Honors & Awards Honorees
Congratulations to the 2022 award winners presented at the IISE Annual Conference &
Expo May 21-24. Enjoy scenes from the festive Honors & Awards evening held May 23.
IISE’s
top award, the Frank & Lillian Gilbreth Industrial Engineering Award, went
to IISE Fellow and long-time member Rajan Batta. “I am extremely
grateful and humbled to receive IISE’s Gilbreth award,” Batta told ISE magazine. “Having spent my
entire academic career at the University at Buffalo, I believe that my
receiving this award is a testament not just to myself, but also to its Industrial
and Systems Engineering Department and its deeply supportive culture of
encouraging scholarly excellence.”
The
Gilbreth award is sponsored by The Wm. Michael Barnes ’64 Department of
Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University and recognizes
those who have distinguished themselves through contributions to the welfare of
mankind in the field of industrial engineering.
The
Captains of Industry Awards went to Tony Blevins of Apple, Alexis
DePree of Nordstrom and Gregory Hyslop of The Boeing Co. The awards
are presented to business or government leaders who successfully used
industrial engineering in the workplace.
The
Class of 2022 IISE Fellows included members who have made significant,
