About the award:

The Robert W. Dunlap Award for best Part B Qualifier Solution was instituted in 2011. The winner is chosen by the Part B Question Committee. Winners are catalogued on an engraved plaque that hangs in the EPP main office. Additionally, the winner receives a monetary award of $250 after taxes. If there is a tie, each recipient receives $250.00. The winner is announced at an annual reception that is usually held in April and combined with the graduate student appreciation reception.

Robert W. Dunlap passed away in 2009 and the award was started in his honor. Dunlap spent 1967-1977 at Carnegie Mellon. His work and teaching crossed departments and colleges – and his desire to hire, promote, and tenure faculty across department and college boundaries was realized and copied at major universities. Instrumental in the creation of the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon, Dunlap served as a member of Carnegie Mellon’s Board of Trustees.
