The Victor
Paschkis Founder
Award
In support
of its mission, the Technology & Society
Division issues, either individually, or in
conjunction with other divisions of ASME, the Victor
Paschkis Founder’s Award to
recognize individuals who make exemplary
contributions to society.
The division’s volunteers also seek to
deliver these contributions which can include
raising public awareness of the social and legal
consequences of technology, helping society and
their governments adapt to changes introduced by
new technology and promoting ASME member
responsibilities toward society - including the
creation of engineered products and services that
embody the highest professional, ethical and social
standards. Taking risks to protect and preserve
public safety is also recognized by this award and
is exemplified by the award’s first
recipient - Roger Boisjoly, engineer and Space
Shuttle Challenger whistleblower.
