AAEOY stands for Asian American Engineer of the Year award, an annual recognition event on a national platform to honor outstanding Asian American professionals in Science and Engineering for their technical achievements, leadership and public services. As a part of the DiscoverE (previously known as National Engineers Week) Program, 
AAEOY was first introduced in 2002. This event has since become a prestigious and important forum for Corporate America, Academia, and Government entities in promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities.
Since 2002, hundreds of Asian-American professionals from leading US corporations, prestigious research institutions as well as US Armed Forces have been selected as the recipients of this prestigious Award.
In addition, "Distinguished Awards" were also presented to honor and celebrate the achievements of Asian Americans with global statures and influences. Past Distinguished Awardees included Nobel Laureates, scholars, academia leaders, key corporate executives and astronauts.
AAEOY Awardees are role models and source of inspiration for all Americans especially the STEM community. For more Awardee information, please visit Past Awardees section.
