Societies, Chi Epsilon (National Civil Engineering Honor Society) and Tau Beta Pi (National General Engineering Honor Society). “Both of these Honor Societies have shown me that I am performing at a high level and that I have been recognized as being within the top of my engineering class,” Hawks writes in a background statement provided to CI. He was also the recipient of the Tony Garcia Award, which recognizes the most active Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) member in the community, at the 2006 SHPE End of Year Banquet. Andre also made the College of Engineering’s Dean’s list for 10 out of 11 quarters at Cal Poly and was elected to the National Dean’s List.
