This time, Professor Sabina Kuc was elected to be a WIETE Fellow. The citation mentioned that the recipient of this highest WIETE honour received it ... in recognition of her distinguished contributions to engineering and technology education, outstanding achievements in the globalisation of engineering and technology education through the activities of the WIETE, and, in particular, for exceptional service to the WIETE.

We wish to congratulate Professor Kuc on this distinguished award and thank her for her tremendous support in establishing the partnership with her Faculty and her strong input to the life of the WIETE.
