Engineer of the Year Award and

Peter Recchia Omni Award

Peter Recchia Omni Award

The movies have their Oscars, the television industry has its Emmy, and The Engineers’ Council

presents, for the 43rd

time, its Engineering Omni Award. This award was presented in 1973 to the

Engineer of the Year, San Fernando Valley. Since then, each succeeding Engineer of the Year has been

awarded this beautiful, original trophy conceived, designed, and produced by Peter Recchia, PE,

SME, AIEE. Mr. Recchia was a dedicated supporter of the engineering community and when he

passed away, the Engineering Omni Award was renamed in his honor, “The Peter Recchia Omni

ward.”

Dr. George A. Pavlath Northrop Grumman Fellow

Northrop Grumman Mission Systems Woodland Hills California

Presented

Santiago A. Bulnes Vice President,

F-35 Chief Engineer Lockheed Martin Aeronautics

Fort Worth, Texas

Dr. George Pavlath is the technical authority and leader of the NGC Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) inertial

navigation and inertial measurement product lines. He is considered the “Father of the Northrop

Grumman Fiber Optic Gyro”. In 1982 he designed Litton’s first fiber optic gyro and led the technical

effort to build and test the gyro. In the 30+ years since and under George’s guidance, that first FOG

gyro has grown into a large and varied portfolio of instruments

feeding the highest volume, most profitable product lines for Litton’s and subsequently for Northrop

Grumman’s navigation business area. The critical contributions that Dr. Pavlath has made has resulted

in products used from undersea to outer space; such as torpedoes;

land navigation systems including the Husky IED detection vehicle; airborne such as the F-16 and nu-

merous space application such as on the Mars rovers.

Presented

Dr. Michael Watkins Director,

Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, California

For his many decades of service and innovative development across the Air Force and the Jet

Propulsion Laboratory. He is a nationally-known space leader and engineer who was on the forefront

of Global Positioning System and advanced space guidance systems development, critical space

situational awareness innovation and historic earth-science spacecraft operations. His service and

leadership across an incredible variety of spacecraft, launch, command and control, surveillance and

scientific exploration programs exemplify the true renaissance nature of Da Vinci, driving us to the

farthest reaches of human knowledge and capability. He truly embodies “To Know How to See.”

Past Recipients

2012 Dr. Charles Elachi 2014 Dr. Edward C. Stone

This award is given in honor of Leonardo Da Vinci who has been called the archetypal Renaissance man

and a true genius. Leonardo exhibited unrivaled talent as an engineer, inventor, artist, mathematician,

anatomist, and writer. Leonardo is revered for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualized such

advanced inventions such as helicopters, tanks, concentrated solar power, calculators, and he outlined a

rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. His ideas were mainly theoretical explanations, laid out in exacting

detail and although relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime,

many of his inventions have become realities for us today. He is widely considered to be one of the

greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. He truly

epitomizes Saper Verdere or “To Know How to See”.

Palmdale,

Kelly Johnson invoked a dedicated team to achieve program success quickly, quietly with quality and without the encumbrance of unnecessary process. Dr. George Kailiwai’s consistent and persistent execution of national need programs exemplifies the foundational elements of Kelly Johnson. His

leadership instilled within critical national need programs continues unabated today in the rapid

development of engineering requirements, employment concepts of operations and insertion of game changing technology into the capabilities of the Department of Defense through his steadfast leadership as the Director of Resources and Assessment (J8) United States Pacific Command. He is recognized for his action in defining the need, the development of the solution and the fielding of

critical technologies and high priority programs to ensure our Nation’s Airmen never enter a fair fight while consistently exhibiting Kelly Johnson’s Rules of Management.

Clarence L. “Kelly” Johnson’s achievements captured every major aviation design award and made him an aerospace legend, but he may be best known for organizing the Lockheed Skunk Works in 1943. Kelly played a leading role in the design of more than forty aircraft and he received more than forty air-craft design awards and honors, including two Collier Trophies, two Theodore von Kármán awards, the Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy, two Sylvanus Albert Reed Awards, and the Daniel Gugenheim Medal. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson presented him with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom. President Ronald Reagan honored Kelly Johnson with the National Society Medal in 1983 and the National Medal of Technology in 1988. Kelly was enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame in 1974. “The Skunk Works is a concentration of a few good people solving problems far in advance – and at a fraction of the cost – by applying the simplest, most straightforw methods possible to develop and produce new products.” — Kelly Johnson

THE ENGINEERS’ COUNCIL

Sherman Oaks,

The Engineers’ Council was founded in 1955 as the “San Fernando Valley Engineers’ Council” through the efforts of the

California Society of Professional Engineers, the American Institute of Plant Engineers, the Society of Manufacturing

Engineers, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

A few years before, Congress had established National Engineers Week to recognize the valuable contributions of

engineers to the country. In the years after its founding, the San Fernando Valley Engineers Council’s annual joint meeting

of its member societies grew into the largest annual honors and awards banquet celebrating National Engineers Week.

This banquet raises funds for high school and college scholarships along with activities to attract young people to the

engineering field. The banquet also honors professionals whose accomplishments warrant recognition by their peers.

In 1959, Roy E. Marquardt, one of the most respected engineers in the San Fernando Valley was named the first Engineer

of the Year. His accomplishments and technical innovations became a benchmark to measure all future candidates for this

most prestigious honor.

1969 saw Ed Reineke selected as the first Honorary Engineer of the Year. Since then, a long list of nationally renowned

individuals has proudly received this award.

The Peter Recchia Omni Award was created in 1973. This perpetual trophy is named for Mr. Peter Recchia, a great

supporter of engineering in our community and designer of the trophy which is presented annually to the Engineer of the

Year.

In 1987, Brigadier General Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager lent his name to the San Fernando Valley Engineers’ Council,

which has since annually presented the Brigadier General Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager International Aeronautical

Achievements Award to the individual who, with the general’s concurrence, has attained historically outstanding

achievement in the field of aeronautical flight test and engineering.

In February 1992, the Advanced Development Programs of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company granted the Engineers

Council the privilege of using both service marks “Skunk Works” and the stylized “Skunk” in our Clarence L. “Kelly”

Johnson Skunk Works Award. In 2006 and 2007, the council developed the Jack Northrop and

Robert H. Goddard awards in cooperation with Northrop Grumman Integrated Systems and Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne.

In 2016, the Boeing Engineering Leadership Award was developed to recognize those who continue the pioneering spirit

of aerospace industry founders, by applying the kind of engineering excellence that will propel Boeing into its second

century. The recipient recognized has made major contributions to the field of engineering, leadership of engineering

programs, or other significant contributions to the engineering profession and has demonstrated an ability to inspire others

to make similar contributions.

In 2016, the Council has also added the Future Technology Leader awards. With these awards, the Engineers’ Council

recognizes early career professionals who have achieved significant accomplishments in a particular area of engineering

activity within the first five years of their career.

Through the years, the Engineers Council has presented thousands of awards recognizing the excellence demonstrated by

individuals in our community and throughout the world in the fields of engineering, education, special fields of work, and

public service. At the same time, scholarships and other charitable activities have continually inspired and attracted those

new engineers who will go on to exceed the work of those engineers who have come before them.

This award is given in honor of the founder of modern rocketry, Dr. Robert H. Goddard. Dr. Goddard

was a physicist of great insight who envisioned the exploration of space and had a genius for invention.

In childhood, Robert Goddard was intrigued by the chemical energy of pyrotechnic devices, and

dreamed of harnessing their energy to produce propulsive power. In 1912, Dr. Goddard developed the

mathematical theory of rocket propulsion as a research fellow at Princeton University, and at Clark

University in 1915, proved experimentally that rockets could produce thrust in a vacuum in order to

dispel the doubts of a less enlightened community. A modest researcher who eschewed the

public eye, he moved his research to Roswell, New Mexico, in 1930, where he built and tested liquid

propulsion rockets which successfully achieved high altitude and demonstrated

control, and dozens of related patents, including gyroscopic guidance systems and multistage

rockets. Dr. Goddard’s developments spawned the rocket industry that put the Americans into

space and the humans on the Moon, and his legacy lives today in those who followed his pioneering

work.

For over 32 years of outstanding engineering leadership in the development and integration of propulsion

systems for space and defense applications. For technical leadership in propulsion and energetics for space,

missile defense strategic systems, tactical systems and armaments to enable Aerojet Rocketdyne to be a

world recognized leader in the industry. For leadership in facilitating smooth transition and integration of

diverse Engineering Centers of Excellence from diverse business units into a lean Engineering workforce

for Aerojet Rocketdyne. For leading Aerojet Rocketdyne Engineering in efforts to attain affordability and

quality goals leading to company’s competitiveness and expanded business base.
