Dr. Michael J. McGinnis, assistant professor of civil engineering, received recognition from the American Society of Civil Engineers' Committee on Student Activities and was named the 2009 Region 6 "Faculty Adviser of the Year."

The award is based on both the activities of the student chapter and the nomination sent forward by the student chapter president as part of their annual report detailing the quality of the chapter's activities.

"Our students have been doing wonderful things during their two years as a recognized ASCE student chapter, highlighted by activities such as this year's Cain Elementary Engineering Reading Program and College of Engineering Volleyball Challenge. Their hard work and dedication led to me being considered for this award, and I am very grateful," said McGinnis.

McGinnis holds both bachelor and master's degrees in civil engineering from the University of Connecticut and a Ph.D. in civil engineering from Lehigh University. His memberships include the ASCE and American Society for Engineering Education.

He worked for nearly five years as a senior project engineer and structural analyst at Electric Boat Coporation, where he aided in the design of major ship structure of the several different classes of U.S. Navy nuclear submarines.

"Dr. McGinnis, recognition highlights not only the growth of the student chapter and the plethora of activities, but his mentoring role during the rapid rise of the UT Tyler concrete canoe team," said Ron Welch, UT Tyler Department of Civil Engineering chair.
