The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) announced its new members for 2006, including two IBM Academy of Technology members.
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature," and to the "pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
Josephine Cheng, IBM Fellow and vice president, IBM China Development Laboratories, Beijing. For sustained leadership and contributions to relational database technology and its pervasive applications to a wide range of digital operational systems.
Katharine G. Frase, vice president of technology, IBM Corp., Somers, N.Y. For engineering contributions, including the use of lead-free materials, to the development of electronic packaging materials and processes.
