In 1997 as part of our celebration of 150 years of teaching engineering at Brown, we introduced Brown Engineering Alumni Medal as a means of recognizing distinguished Engineering alumni.  These medals are awarded to Brown Engineering graduates who have established exceptional records of accomplishment in their engineering careers.  

BEAM Committee and Nominations

A committee, composed of faculty members and previously chosen medalists, selects the new medalists. All faculty and alumni are invited to make nominations. If you would like to nominate someone, please contact Rick Fleeter at Rick_Fleeter@brown.edu.
