I am pleased to send warm greetings as you recognize National
Engineers Week.
Americans have always been innovators, pioneers, and explorers.
Through their work, engineers play an important role in carrying
on this tradition. They provide the design and structure that enable
new ideas to become tangible benefits to our society. Engineers
help expand our horizons, from planning essential infrastructure
for the growth of our cities to finding better ways to preserve
America’s beautiful wilderness for future generations.
I commend the professionals, teachers, and students participating
in National Engineers Week. This week’s activities will showcase
the interests and talents of America’s engineers and provide
inspiration for our young people to set high goals and work hard
to achieve them.
Best wishes for a successful week.

Engineers’ CouncilWOODLAND HILLS, CALIFORNIA
1955 A Brief History 2002
Founded in 1955 as the San Fernando Valley Engineers’ Council through the joint efforts of theCalifornia Society of Professional Engineers, the American Institute of Plant Engineers, the Societyof Manufacturing Engineers and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the Engineers’Council has celebrated National Engineers Week, a national week of recognition, since 1950.
Over the past several years, the Council’s activities have grown from a joint meeting of thesesocieties into today’s annual awards banquet. These banquets honor deserving professionals whoseaccomplishments warrant recognition by their peers.
The 1959 banquet was special. The first Engineer of the Year Award was given to Roy E. Marquardt,one of the most respected engineers in the San Fernando Valley. His accomplishments and technicalinnovations became a benchmark to measure all future candidates for this most prestigious honor.
The next milestone for the Council was in 1969 when the first Honorary Engineer of the Year,Ed Reineke, was selected. Over the past 33 years, a host of nationally known engineers has proudlyreceived this award.
The Peter Recchia Omni Award was added to the list of major awards in 1973. This award isnamed for Mr. Peter Recchia, a great supporter of engineering in our community and designer of thefirst award. This trophy is given annually to the Engineer of the Year.
In 1987, General Charles E. (Chuck) Yeager was the first recipient of the “General Charles E.(Chuck) Yeager International Aeronautical Achievements Award.” This award is given periodically,with General Yeager’s approval, to aeronautical engineers who work on a global level.
In February 1993, Lockheed Advanced Development Company granted the Engineers’ Councilthe privilege of using both service marks “Skunk Works” and the stylized “Skunk” in ourClarence L. ”Kelly” Johnson Skunk Works Award.
Through the years, the Engineers’ Council has presented numerous awards recognizing outstandingcontributions by individuals in our community and throughout the world in the fields of engineering,education, special fields of work, and public service.

to
General John P. JumperChief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force
Washington, D.C.
Brig. General Charles E. (Chuck) Yeager International AeronauticalAchievements Award
On October 14, 1947, General Yeager became the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. He also becamethe first man to fly more than twice the speed of sound. He has flown 183 types of aircraft during his career and
has more than 11,000 hours of flight time.
During World War II, General Yeager distinguished himself in aerial combat over France and Germany byshooting down 13 enemy aircraft. He was shot down over German-occupied France but managed to escape capture
with the help of the French Maquis.
His subsequent assignments included test pilot of the Nation’s first research rocket aircraft, Commander of the417th Fighter Squadron, Commander of the First Fighter Squadron, Commandant of the Aerospace Research PilotSchool, Commander of the 405th Fighter Wing when he flew 127 missions in South Vietnam, Commander of the4th Tactical Fighter Wing in Korea during the Pueblo crisis, and Vice Commander of the Seventeenth Air Force after
promotion to Brigadier General.
His military decorations and awards include The Distinguished Service Medal with one oak leaf cluster, The SilverStar with one oak leaf cluster, The Legion of Merit with one oak leaf cluster, The Distinguished Flying Cross with twooak leaf clusters, The Bronze Star Medal with “V” device, The Purple Heart, Distinguished Unit Citation Emblem with
one oak leaf cluster, and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award Ribbon.
Selection of recipients for this distinguished award reflect a lifetime career of dedication to the progress ofaerospace technology.

to
Lieutenant General Bruce Carlson, USAFDirector for Force Structure
The PentagonWashington, D.C.
Kelly Johnson “Skunk Works” Award
Clarence L “Kelly” Johnson’s achievements over almost six decades captured every major aviation design award and made himan aerospace legend. These achievements go back to the 1930s, but he may be best known for organizing the Lockheed SkunkWorks in 1943. It started as a small unit of engineering and production specialists to hurriedly create, build, and fly the WorldWar II XP-80 jet prototype for the U.S. Air Force. It was the first of many of the world’s most advanced aircraft to be produced
by the Skunk Works under his leadership.
Kelly played a leading role in the design of more than forty aircraft including the P-38 Lighting, the Constellation transport,the P2V Neptune antisubmarine patrol plane, the record setting F-104 Starfighter, the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, and the
SR-71 Blackbird.
He received more than forty aircraft design and achievement awards and honors (several twice). Included are two Colliertrophies, two Theodore von Karman Awards, the Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy, two Sylvanus Albert Reed Awards, and the
Daniel Guggenhein Medal. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson presented him with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Medalof Freedom. President Ronald Reagan honored Kelly Johnson with the National Security Medal in 1983 and the National Medal
of Technology in 1988. Kelly was enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame in 1974.
The Kelly Johnson Skunk Works Award is established to honor and to perpetuate his qualities, accomplishments, andstandards as a model of excellence to be aspired to by future generations of engineers pioneering progress of the future.
