Every year, the Penn State Engineering Society (PSES) honors outstanding teaching, research, amd advising among the faculty of the College of Engineering. Award recipients are nominated by their respective departments and are selected by a panel of peers and PSES representatives. Those who are selected stand as exemplars of faculty excellence. In 1993, PSES established the Faculty Awards Endowment which will carry on the tradition of support for quality engineering education for many years.

Two additional awards are given each year to recognize exceptional service to the College. The Outstanding Staff Award recognizes individuals who have given time and effort to the College of Engineering above and beyond their normal duties. The Distinguished Service Award recognizes and honors current or former faculty, alumni, or friends who have donated their time, expertise, and/or energies to a department within the College of Engineering.

All awardees are selected through secret ballot by committees composed of faculty, staff, alumni, and former award recipients. Nominations in each category are submitted by the department or school in which the individual is employed or from which the candidate earned a degree.
