Being elected as a NAE member is considered to be the highest honor in engineering and the result of a recognition of lifelong achievements. Members are selected based on the recommendations of existing members and their achievements in the technical and engineering fields. This time, 106 new US members and 23 new international members were elected, for a total of 2355 and 298, respectively. Professor Aida was elected as one of the new international members.
