He has served as corresponding secretary and executive vice president of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, and co-founded the Engineering Writers Guild. The Martin Award is given annually in recognition of outstanding research achievements by a graduate student. In spite of other responsibilities, he regularly helps others I am impressed by how much he is able to do, and still do the best. No graduate work at UIUC in ECE in recent memory equals that of Pete Evans.
Researchers commonly work in either crystal growth or processing.
Evans is expert at both, and the publication of his work in prestigious journals shows it. The Pierce Award is given annually to the undergraduate student who has done the most to develop student-faculty cooperation. As co-founder of Civil Engineering Student Advisory Council, Mulderink has developed several programs, including the very popular Civilized Lunch Program, in which groups of students take a faculty member to lunch. In addition, she developed an orientation program to fill a critical gap in introducing new students, particularly transfer students, to the faculty and staff members, services and facilities of the department of civil engineering. The Honeywell Award is given annually to a junior in recognition of unusual scholastic accomplishments, professional qualifications or participation in technical and professional societies.
