Rainey, associate dean of Cal Poly's College of Engineering, has been named a Fellow Member of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Rainey will be recognized for "outstanding contributions to the society" at the group's annual awards banquet June 25 in Nashville, Tenn. "It's an organization that I really believe in, so it's a welcome honor," said Rainey, an ASEE member since 1979 who has twice been elected to its board of directors. "Because it allows engineering educators from all over the country to share ideas on current teaching methods and learn about new equipment, the work of the society fits in perfectly with what we do here at Cal Poly." Founded in 1893, the ASEE is dedicated to promoting and improving engineering and technology education. Included among its 12,000 members are college deans, professors, students and industry representatives. The grade of Fellow is the society's highest distinction. Rainey, who earned his doctorate from Texas A&M University in 1981 and has been a professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering at Cal Poly since 1987, said his involvement in the society is ongoing. "I've been asked to run for VP (vice president) of Member Affairs for 2004," he said, "and I will, gladly."
