Major Prizes from the National Academy of Engineering

The Academy annually awards three prizes that award $500,000 to the winner. In a sense these constitute the "Nobel Prizes of Engineering." The three prizes are the Gordon Prize for engineering education, the Russ Prize currently given for work in bioenginering, and Charles Stark Draper Prize, which is given for the advancement of engineering and the education of the public about engineering.
