Air Breathing Propulsion AwardSelection Process

• Only awarded if at least 3 nominations are active• Nominations are active for a total of three cycles• Chronic problems maintaining the requisite 3 active nominations• Currently have 3 active nominations

One nominee will likely receive the 2011 ABP award We need at least one new nomination, preferably more, by October 1st nomination deadline

• Therefore Each TC Chair (ABPSI, GTE, and HSABP) is asked to ensure at least one nomination

package is submitted each year ALL TC members are encouraged to submit nominations POC for 2010/11/12 is Nicole Key. Please have nominator advise POC of “intent to

nominate” as soon as possible

• AIAA has adopted shorter 4 page nomination form for national awards (http://www.aiaa.org/pdf/inside/awardnom.pdf )

• Change to 5 active nominations with reduced nomination requirements has been proposed. If adopted we will require 3 new nominations!!!

Awarded for “Meritorious, Career-Spanning Accomplishment in the Science or Art of Air Breathing Propulsion”

Air Breathing Propulsion AwardSelection Process (continued)

• Selection team consists of 7 people: Each APB TC Chair (i.e., ABPSI, GTE, and HSABP TCs) Each ABP TC Honors & Awards Subcommittee Chair Representative of the Propellants and Combustion (P&C) TC

• The selection team’s decision must be endorsed by ane-mail vote of at least 50% of the ABP TC and P&CTC members

• ABP TC chair, P&C TC chair, and Group Director must approve final selection by ensuring process was followed

• Documented, quantitative grading scale (audit trail) with minimum threshold below which award is not given out is required New scoring sheet developed at ASM 2009 For ABP award, minimum threshold is 100 points

(out of a possible 150 points)

• Award presented at the JPC

Gordon C. Oates Student AwardEvaluation Guidance

Score Guidance: Range of 1 - 10, 1 = Poor, 10 = Outstanding

Assessment AreaWeight Factor

Typical Score for good candidate = 6 Additional points awarded for: Points subtracted for:

Research project - technical merit,

originality, scope, & credibility

35%

Innovative project directly related to ABP; project of clear value supported with sound reasoning and impressive results

Industry collaboration/teaming, immediacy of impact, USG/industry contractual sponsorship, thoroughness of investigation, length of investigation; research of exceptional and obvious value to ABP; high quality/quantity results

Project of limited ABP relevancy; no/limited results (plans only); questionable technical value / "sandbox" nature, faulty reasoning, funding "granted" rather than "earned"; project of limited innovation

Career Goals 20%

Essay demonstrates enthusiasm for future; typically discusses "Where I want to work..."

Essay shows personal goals of clear technical vision and exceptional enthusiasm, personal commitment, and desire. "What I want to accomplish..."

No clear vision for career; just wants a job. "What I want to earn…"

Recommendations 20%

Very good recommendation; typically from at least Faculty Advisor and Department Chairman

Recommendations of exceptional endorsement (i.e. "best student ever"); recommendations from AIAA advanced members (i.e. Fellows) or national known ABP leaders; recommendations from outside of student's own university, especially from industry or USG representatives

No recommendation from Department Chairman; recommendations of limited enthusiasm; recommendations of limited source diversity

Academic Credentials 15%Very good GPA (i.e. 3.7/4.0) in graduate studies covering relevant curriculum

Outstanding GPA (i.e. 3.8-4.0/4.0) in graduate and/or undergraduate studies; exceptional depth of curriculum; degrees from different Universities including those nationally renown for ABP research

Less impressive GPA in either graduate or undergraduate studies, less impressive/hollow curriculum

Work Experience 10%

Has worked in various related areas mainly in university environment and has published at least a few technical papers based on that work

Has worked in various assignments of clear technical value both inside and outside of University environment. Has demonstrated results from prior work assignments, has published technical papers of clear & relevant technical merit.

Has performed only as research assistant on specific project. Has very limited/no publications.

100%Tiebreaker considerations: Candidate has overcome adversity in route to graduate studies, comes from a financially disadvantage background, has been financially self-sufficient through school, is especially active in community, supports a family, is active in AIAA, is female and/or minority.

New Initiatives & Plans

• New Initiatives: HSABP TC working with HyTASP to develop a Fred Billig Hypersonic Award

– Award draft reviewed by HSABP TC H&A subcommittee– Will be briefed to TAC and HAC tomorrow and vote to accept or reject

H&A subcommittee telecon schedule– Regular telecons recommended to monitor progress on ABP award nominations– Other selection committees will communicate via e-mail and telecons as required.

• Plans 2011 ABP Award

– We have three active nominations– Judging panel is being formed– Judging will commence shortly– POC: Nicole Key

2011 Gordon C. Oates Graduate Student Award– Student self nominations are due by January 31, 2011– Judging team will be formed and selection made during March-April, 2011– POC: Jinho Lee

2011 Best Paper Award– We have received most of the session chair reports from the 2010 JPC– H&A chairs are tracking down a few missing session chair reports– Once session chair reports are received from 2011 ASM each TC will begin the judging process– POC: Bryan Westra (ABPSI), Bryce Roth (GTE), James Donahue (HSABP)
