Warren G. Keith and Longino “Woody” Woodman devoted their lives to their profession, university, and hundreds of students whose education they provided and careers they shaped. There was a unique interaction between Warren and Woody. They brought out the best in each other through their warm wit, constant-friendly challenge, insistence upon highest-quality work, and devotion to shaping of tomorrow’s engineers.

This award was created in 1989 to honor and thank Professors Keith and Woodman, and to recognize a few of the many worthy CCEE alumni who have conducted their careers in the spirit exemplified by Warren and Woody, whose accomplishments have brought honor to us all.
