Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a leading developer of
innovative wearable computing technologies and solutions, announced
that its CEO, Dr. John C.C. Fan, has been elected to the National
Academy of Engineering (NAE).
According to the NAE, “Dr. Fan is being recognized for his
distinguished contributions to engineering, ‘for innovation and
entrepreneurship in electronic materials and devices for
displays.’” A nonprofit organization chartered by the US Congress,
the NAE’s mission is to advance the well-being of the nation by
promoting a vibrant engineering profession and by marshalling the
expertise and insights of eminent engineers to provide independent
advice to the federal government on matters involving engineering
and technology. The NAE’s 2,590 members, including 281
international members, are charged with providing objective
analysis and advice to the nation on matters of science,
technology, and health.
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the
highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy
membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to
"engineering research, practice, or education, including, where
appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering
literature" and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of
technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of
engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to
engineering education." Election of new NAE members is the
culmination of a yearlong process. The ballot is set in December
and the final vote for membership occurs during January.
The 2020 Class includes 87 nominees from the United States and
18 international members. The Induction Ceremony for Dr. Fan and
the Class of 2020 will be held during the NAE’s Annual Meeting in
Washington, D.C. on Sunday, October 4, 2020.
Further information about the mission of the National Academy of
Engineering, and the achievements of its distinguished members, can
