Dean's Award
The Dean's Award for Outstanding Engineering Achievement, the school's highest honor awarded to a person who has made an exceptional contribution to the practice of engineering, this year is given to Calvin C. Chien.
An environmental fellow with the DuPont Company working in the Corporate Remediation Group, Chien has been responsible for technical support for environmental protection and remediation of company operations throughout the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, he leads the company's Containment Transport Modeling Technology Team to facilitate the development, evaluation and transfer of cutting-edge technologies to remediation sites around the nation and the globe. He also is responsible for overseeing environmental aspects of acquisitions and divestitures for DuPont, facilitating protection of the environment as part of the company's corporate citizenship.
Chien has fostered DuPont's participation in research conducted at the New York State Center for Hazardous Waste Management, headquartered at UB.
He received his B.S.E. in hydraulic engineering from the National Taiwan Cheng-Kung University in 1966, his M.S.E. in 1970 and his Ph.D. in 1974 in civil engineering from UB.

The Department of Geology has announced that three students will share the 1997 Dorothea C. Duttweiler Field Camp Awards:
Elowyn Yager, who has a QPA of 3.933, has been nominated to Phi Beta Kappa and is a member of the Honors Program and the University Chapter of Mortar Board. Recipient of the Grace W. Capen Scholarship in 1996, she has an NSF Fellowship for Undergraduate Research under the supervision of Parker Calkin. She is also a volunteer with the Buffalo Museum of Science and during the summer volunteers at a vertebrate paleontology site. Yager will receive $500 for her part of the field camp award.
Jennifer Jennings has a QPA of 3.241. She was nominated to All-American Scholars, National Collegiate Natural Sciences Awards, and Mortar Board's Emerging Leaders Forum. Jennings will receive $250.
Valerie Podet is a graduate student with a previous degree in religion. She holds a teaching assistantship and has a graduate QPA of 3.443. She is a commander in the Naval Reserves, and does volunteer work at the Tifft Nature Preserve. She has taught special courses, such as genetics for the Buffalo Museum of Science and Hebrew to adults in Jamestown. She will receive $250.
The awards are named for Dorothea C. Duttweiler, who graduated with a B.A. in geology in 1937, at a time when women who entered geology could only hope to teach after they graduated. Unable to find a job in the field following graduation, she attempted to enter the Syracuse School of Forestry, only to be told that they were not equipped for women students and that their field work would not permit a woman student.
Duttweiler began high school teaching and later became a professor in UB's School of Education, but she never lost her love for geology nor her regret that certain doors were closed to her as a woman. This is the fourth year Duttweiler has given money to assist female students attending geology summer field camp.
