Steven Anderson Wins Award From SGT
Sigma Gamma Tau (SGT), the national aerospace engineering honor society, has awarded Texas A&M student Steven Anderson with the 2012 Southwest Region Award. Formed in 1957, SGT seeks to identify and recognize achievement and excellence in the aerospace field. SGT's collegiate chapters elect annually to membership those students, alumni, and professionals who, by conscientious attention to their studies or professional duties, uphold this high standard for the betterment of their profession. Texas A&M University is a charter member of SGT, and 683 students have been initiated since 1957. This spring, 33 undergraduate and graduate students were initiated.
The Sigma Gamma Tau Undergraduate Awards serve to select outstanding Aerospace Engineering students at both the regional and national levels, to recognize the accomplishments of these young students as they start their professional careers. There are nine different regions, of which Texas A&M is a member of the Southwest Region. This region also includes the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, and the University of Texas at Austin.
This prestigious award honors Steven as being one of the top seven outstanding Aerospace Engineering seniors in the United States, based upon his academic, service, and extracurricular accomplishments. The honorarium is in the form of a check for $250 and a plaque documenting his award. In addition, a brass nameplate will be installed on the department's Sigma Gamma Tau Award perpetual plaque.
The Texas A&M University chapter of Sigma Gamma Tau is tied with the Purdue University chapter for having the most national winners all time, at five. The national winners are designated as the top aerospace engineering senior in the United States for that year. The most recent Texas A&M University national winners were Joseph E. Bishop (1989), John Michael Fife (1992), and Justin Wilkerson (2009).
