New Face of Engineering 2012
"I am extremely proud to be the New Face of Engineering. I look forward to helping highlight the wide variety of careers and disciplines which a general engineering degree can be applied" |
Amy Jarvis, P.E.
Employer: Mechanical Engineer, Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch, Portland, Ore.
Education: Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, Calif.
Notable Accomplishments: As an engineer committed to local, national and global sustainability, Jarvis is one of three lead authors of the World Health Organization's forthcoming Healthcare in the Green Economy, How Carbon Reduction May Impact Health in Health Sector Services, for which she developed strategies combining reduced carbon impact with improved health care and is also a contributing author to the LEED® for Healthcare Reference Guide. She is the lead energy analyst and LEED coordinator for Kaiser Permanente's first LEED project and a key team member and lead energy modeler for the Kaiser Permanente Small Hospital Big Idea Competition to develop the hospital of the future with a near-zero environmental impact.

New Face of Engineering
The New Faces of Engineering recognition program, introduced by ASHRAE in 2003, is part of National Engineers Week—sponsored by the National Engineers Week Foundation—a coalition of engineering societies, major corporations and government agencies. Engineers Week, Feb. 19-25, 2012, promotes New Faces to provide incentive to those in college and inspire even younger students to consider engineering careers.
Engineers 30 years of age or younger, are the focus of the recognition program. ASHRAE members are encouraged to nominate deserving young engineers so that they might have the opportunity to earn recognition in their chosen field.
Criteria
Nominees must have a degree in engineering from a recognized U.S. college or university, or from an equivalent international educational institution. Degrees in engineering technology, science, computer science and similar disciplines do not qualify, though a degree in computer engineering is acceptable.
Recognition
The individual selected as ASHRAE’s New Face of Engineering 2012 will receive the following recognition:
- Featured in a full-page ad in the February issue of the ASHRAE Journal
- Highlighted in the March edition of ASHRAE Insights
- Various ASHRAE news releases to winner’s local press
- USA Today print ad
- ASHRAE’s YEA Committee will send the recipient to the Annual CIBSE Meeting held April 18-19, 2012 in London, U.K. The recipient will attend events of their choice and be honored at a CIBSE reception. The cost of travel, room and board will be supported by ASHRAE.
