Professor Mary Wheeler is to receive the Joe. J. King Professional Engineering Achievement Award from the College of Engineering at the University
of Texas at Austin. The Joe J. King Award is given to "a faculty member who has made significant
contributions in furthering the profession of engineering. In the words of Mr. King: "My feeling is
that the recognition should encourage faculty members to demonstrate capabilities in broadly
advancing the professional practice of engineering". Thus, of primary importance is that the work
of the recipient has brought credit to the profession of engineering."
It has been a busy year for Dr. Wheeler, in April 2006 she was honored with
honorary doctorate from Universiteit Eindhoven. Dr. Wheeler, holder of the Ernest and Virginia Cockrell Chair in Engineering, is
also the Director of the Center for Subsurface Modeling, and is jointly appointed in Aerospace Engineering
and Engineering Mechanics as well as in Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering. She is a member of the National Academy of Engineers.
