Harris, which marks its 120-year anniversary of innovation this year, has joined leading companies, government agencies and educational and professional organizations celebrating National Engineers Week. EWeek was launched 65 years ago by the National Society of Professional Engineers to kindle student interest in technology careers using real-world examples and education.

Throughout the week, Harris will host ceremonies recognizing the many contributions of its 9,000 scientists and engineers. The company has named five employees as recipients of its highest recognition for engineering achievement – the Harris Corporation Fellow Award. The honorees are:

  • Dr. Robert Fiete for advancing technologies in optics, photonics and imaging, which are widely used in defense, intelligence, and environmental sensing applications
  • Dr. Paul Griffith for his role as principal architect in developing technologies that dramatically improve the timeliness and accuracy of data used in weather forecasting
  • Tom Hengeveld for driving advancements in Harris’ family of land mobile radios, which are used extensively by first responders and professional communicators worldwide
  • Dan Kikuta for introducing ground-breaking technical approaches that advanced radar systems used in defense surveillance and air traffic management
  • Dr. Lynn Ailes-Sengers for defining roadmaps for next-generation capabilities that leveraged multiple technologies used across a broad range of disciplines

The company also is hosting a series of informative seminars, team building events, and competitive activities at its various facilities — including structural design and software coding competitions. Learn more at http://harris.com/eweek2016/.
