Test Engineer of the Year Award
Test & Measurement World acknowledges the special contributions that engineering test makes with our annual Test Engineer of the Year award. Sponsored by National Instruments, the award carries with it an educational grant presented to an engineering school designated by the winner.

Each year, we invite the test community to nominate engineers for this prestigious award. From the recommendations we receive, we select six finalists and publish profiles of them in an issue of our magazine. From among those six, readers vote for the Test Engineer of the Year.

The finalists for the 2009 Test Engineer of the Year award were announced in our October 2008 issue.
