NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Aviation Week today announced the winners of its awards program, "Tomorrow's Engineering Leaders: The Twenty20s." The awards, produced in partnership with Raytheon, recognize top engineering, math, science and technology students. The program connects the next generation of aerospace and defense talent with established leaders who have created many of the "firsts" driving innovation in the 21st century.

"We have found that today's university students are undertaking research and innovation that solves some of the toughest questions engineers face today – from energy-related to mapping the brain," Greg Hamilton, Aviation Week president, said. "The individuals chosen for the Twenty20s program are engaged in this type of exploration, are proving themselves in the classroom, and are reaching out to the world beyond the campus to make a difference."

"These students are excelling in their engineering studies and are making substantial contributions to their communities," said Pamela Erickson, Raytheon's vice president of Corporate Affairs. "Raytheon is committed to supporting that work, and we will continue to promote education in science, technology, engineering and math as students set out to strengthen the role of the United States as a leader in global innovation."
