Eligible candidates who are senior members and hold a professional membership should complete the Fellow Nomination Form Application that is supported by (3) current SCS members and/or professional references.

The Board of Directors set the maximum number of Fellow nominations that can be elevated the following year. This number will not exceed one percent (1%) of the SCS membership. This is done to preserve the high threshold of accomplishment required for SCS Fellow status over the long term.

The Fellow Applicant’s contributions that raise him/her significantly above the norm shall be examined. In all cases, the contributions are based on technical achievement. The individual’s contributions can take as many forms as there are nominees.

The contributions can take the form of a new and significant piece of theoretical and/or experimental work leading to an important advancement in the state of the art. Fellow Applicants may make significant technical contributions in the design and evolution into manufacturing of products or systems – or to the use, operation or application of such products or systems. The contributions shall be based on the realization to society, as judged by the SCS Fellow Committee, considering innovativeness, originality, creativity, meeting market needs, regional as well as global impact on the profession or society at large, or advances in quality, reliability, cost effectiveness or manufacturability.

The Fellow Applicant’s contributions can also be exemplified through technical leadership of a managerial, team or company-wide effort that led to an important benefit to society, to technical innovation, to the advancement of a device, idea or system leading to development, application and/or production. The technical innovation, risk involved, performance improvement, economic results or other advantages must be perceived by the SCS Fellow Committee as above the norm.

As an Educator, the Fellow Applicant’s contributions can encompass the development of a new curriculum or courses that are innovative or unique. An accepted and widely used pioneering text is also a significant useful contribution. The contributions, again, are to be judged on the basis of uniqueness, innovation, wide acceptance, etc.

The technical accomplishments of a Fellow Applicant can also take the form of technical publications as evidenced by refereed papers in archival journals, edited or authored books, papers in technical reports or other publications.

The technical contributions may also be in the form of patents, standards or other documentation describing the development or application of products, systems, facilities, services or software.

Evidence is the author’s technical presentation in the form of keynote presentations, papers summarized in conference digests, documented invited papers, developed courses and textbooks. Where the Fellow Applicant’s contribution is improved product or system design, which may have been held confidential by his employer, the technical accomplishment can be documented by using internal technical reports identifying the nominee’s role in the development.

The Fellow Applicant’s contributions can also consist of the development, manufacture or application of products, systems, facilities and services. Where a candidate makes his contribution as part of a team, his specific contribution as identified in the nomination, and verified by in-house Fellow references, constitutes suitable evidence. The evidence can be in the form of survey articles, review papers, company reports, published specifications, instruction manuals, application information, competitive analyses, government publications, market trend studies, etc.

Finally, the Fellow Applicant must be an active member of SCS clearly known to the Board and SCS membership by his or her service to the community and professional contribution.
