The Black Engineer of the Year Awards Conference attracts top professionals and students from every part of the nation and every field of science, engineering and technology. Held at the end of a three-day event, the Black Engineer of the Year Awards Ceremony recognizes the achievement of African-American leaders. Since 1986, the conference has served as an invaluable tool to recognize outstanding achievements of African-Americans in Government agencies and private companies across America.

Twenty-three different awards are given out at the conference, of which one is the Modern Day Technology Leaders Award. This award was awarded to more than 100 individuals this year, including Jamaal Lipscomb and Stacey Hamilton.

Modern Day Technology Leaders are men and women of color who are demonstrating outstanding performance and will shape the course of engineering, science and technology in the future. The success of these individuals merits national recognition.
