The JCISE Editor’s Pick Awards are given to the best papers published in the ASME Journal of Computing & Information Science in Engineering (JCISE), which are selected based on the criteria of significant contributions to novel computational or modeling methodologies, potential impacts on the engineering of products, processes, or systems, as well as likely influence on future research directions.  Each year, JCISE receives over 700 submissions and publishes with an acceptance rate of 16%.  Only one published article in each JCISE thrust area is selected to receive this award annually.

Dr. Sha Receives SAE International Education Award

Dr. Sha was selected as the recipient of the 2026 SAE International Educational Award Honoring Ralph R. Teetor. This award aims to “stimulate contacts between young engineering educators and practicing engineers in industry and government. Reflecting the firm belief of its donor that engineering educators are the most effective link between engineering students and their future careers, the focus is on engineering educators early in their careers. Its objective is to provide an engaging atmosphere in which these teachers can meet and exchange views with practicing engineers.”

Dr. Sha was presented the award at the WCX™ 2026 World Congress Experience on April 14, 2026, in Detroit, MI.
