CSUN Faculty Honored at Engineers’ Council Banquet

(NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2006) – Three faculty members from Cal State Northridge’s College of Engineering and Computer Science were honored Sat., Feb. 25, at the San Fernando Valley Engineers’ Council 51st Anniversary Honors & Awards Banquet.

Ben Mallard, professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was honored with the “Distinguished Engineering Educator” award, while Mechanical Engineering professor C.T. Lin, and Electrical and Computer Engineering professor Xiaojun “Ashley” Geng, were both awarded with “Outstanding Engineering Achievement Merit” awards.

“They’re examples of the faculty we have here at CSUN, and the kind of people Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben S. Bernanke says we need to drive our economy into the future,” said S.T. Mau, dean of CSUN’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “CSUN remains at the cutting edge of providing the engine for tomorrow’s economy…this is a long-term vision for the country that we all need to stand behind.”

The professors were honored at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City.
