Olin College President Richard Miller Receives Prestigious Engineering Education Award

Olin College President Richard K. Miller of Needham recently received the Donald E. Marlowe Award for distinguished education administration from the American Society for Engineering Education.

The prestigious award recognizes individuals who have made significant ongoing contributions to education for engineering and engineering technology through unusually effective national leadership and example. The recipient must also have demonstrated an understanding and responsiveness to societal and technological change through creative and dedicated administrative skill and leadership.

"At Olin College, Miller's particular model of engineering education—with its emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship, early design experiences, intentional development of right brain thinking, team work and leadership—is beginning to prove itself through high levels of student satisfaction and students especially motivated to change the world," said Thomas Katsouleas, dean at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering, in nominating Miller for the award.
