Charles Stark Draper Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NAE Charles Draper Prize, awarded for advancement of engineering and the education of the public about engineering .

The U.S. National Academy of Engineering annually awards the Draper Prize,[1] which is given for the advancement of engineering and the education of the public about engineering. It is one of three prizes that constitute the "Nobel Prizes of Engineering"—the others are the Academy's Russ and Gordon Prizes. The Draper Prize is awarded biennially and the winner of each of these prizes receives $500,000.[2] The Draper prize is named for Charles Stark Draper, the "father of inertial navigation", an MIT professor and founder of Draper Laboratory.

Past winners

[edit]

The NAE website shows that no Draper Prize was awarded in 2010, 2017, 2019 or 2021.[16] Since the award is a biennial one, it was probably only given in even years beginning in 2016. The Russ Prize, also from the NAE, is awarded in odd years.
