Current recipient
Shannon Casebeer
This year’s recipient is Shannon Casebeer, associate professor in the GE Johnson Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science.
For more than a decade, he has advised multiple student organizations and coached teams in ASC, AEI and U.S. Department of Energy competitions, with his Design-Build teams earning multiple top-three finishes, including first place in 2018.
