Craig Gunn, senior academic specialist in the Michigan State University Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been named a fellow of the American Society for Engineering Education.
ASEE is a nonprofit organization committed to furthering education in engineering and engineering technology.
The fellow designation, which is only conferred on one-tenth of 1 percent of the ASEE membership each year, is presented to those with outstanding qualifications and experiences in engineering and related fields.
ASEE bestowed the honor to 11 new fellows during its 124th annual conference in Columbus, Ohio, June 25-28. The event is the only conference dedicated to all disciplines of engineering education.
Gunn’s career has been celebrated with a number of national and university awards. In 2008, he was presented the Alvah K. Borman Award from ASEE’s Cooperative and Experiential Education Division for sustained, honorable and meritorious contributions to the promotion and practice of cooperative education in engineering and technology. At MSU, he has received the Michigan State University Distinguished Academic Staff Award and the Withrow Academic Staff Service Award from the MSU College of Engineering.
Gunn is the second Spartan engineer named an ASEE fellow in the past two years. In 2015, Daina Briedis, associate professor and assistant dean of student advancement and program assessment in the College of Engineering, was also presented with the national honor.
