Dougherty

Award Winners

Named for Nathan W. Dougherty, the award recognizes Dougherty’s success in engineering and education. It singles out those who have brought honor and distinction to the college through their achievements or who have made significant contributions to the engineering profession in Tennessee through their professional activities.

Since 1957, the Nathan W. Dougherty Award has been presented by the Tickle College of Engineering in recognition of engineers who have brought honor and distinction to the college through their achievements or who have made significant contributions to the engineering profession in Tennessee through their professional activities. Recipients of the Nathan W. Dougherty Award have established themselves as pioneering engineers – inventors, managers, researchers, professors, and leaders of industry. In their own right, each recipient’s engineering prowess has advanced the engineering profession. Collectively, however, this grouping of professionals represents an echelon of engineering achievement that is truly outstanding.

We are unable to profile the professional accomplishments of each Nathan W. Dougherty Award recipient whose passing pre-dated this posting. These individuals, however, led the way in many fields of engineering and we are pleased to acknowledge them for their extraordinary leadership as engineers, professors, administrators, and executives.
