Description

The Control Engineering Practice Award was renamed the Babatunde A. Ogunnaike Control Practice Award in his honor in 2023.

The Ogunnaike Award is given to one individual or one team to be selected from those nominated for significant contribution to the advancement of control practice. The primary criterion for selection will be for the application and implementation of innovative control concepts, methodology, and technology, for the planning, design, manufacture, and operation of control systems.

Prize

The award consists of a certificate and an honorarium. In the event that the winner is a team, each member of the team will receive a certificate and the honorarium will be divided equally among the team members.

Eligibility

The work on which the nomination is based must have been performed while the nominated individual or at least one member of the team was a resident of the USA.
