ESD Honors Individuals And Projects

The Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD) honored several senior executives at its 2005 Annual Awards Dinner on June 21 at the General Motors Wintergarden in Detroit. The ESD Annual Awards is an evening honoring those members in the industry who provide inspiration and leadership through ESD. The Society recognized the following members for their outstanding achievements and contributions to ESD and our community.

The following members accepted one of ESD's highest honors — induction into the prestigious ESD College of Fellows:

  • Sue Littles, lead architectural designer, DTE Energy

  • Don Bramlett, P.E., project engineer, DTE Energy

  • William Moylan Jr., project management consultant, WA Moylan & Associates

Candidates are selected based on extraordinary qualifications and experience in their profession as evidenced by accomplishments in the areas of technical achievement; professional achievement; and ESD and professional society service/leadership in relation to honors, publications, patents, and academic and community service/leadership.

John Banicki, P.E., F.E.S.D., founder and chief executive consultant, Testing Engineers & Consultants, received the Lifetime Achievement Award for over 50 years of dedicated service and contribution to the engineering profession, community and ESD.

Charles M. Ayers, F.E.S.D., president of C. Ayers Ltd., and F. Michael Faubert, P.E., F.E.S.D., vice president of engineering, DTE Energy Technologies, received the Distinguished Service Award for their dedicated, active involvement with ESD.

The following are recipients of the prestigious ESD Construction & Design Awards. These awards were developed to recognize excellence in the construction and design industry.
