The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) congratulates DR. DWIGHT L. WILLIAMS, PH.D., P.E. as the 2005 - 2006 National Young Engineer of the Year
Dwight joined the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) in 1998 and has proven himself to be one of the most active and productive engineers in the history of the organization. Dwight, a member via the Maryland Society of Professional Engineers (MDSPE), has been active at the local, state, and national levels. At the local level, he has served on the Board of Directors and is currently the Potomac Chapter President. At the state level, he has served as the Chair for the Professional Engineers in Government Practice Division. Nationally, Dwight has served on a number of committees including the Leadership Development Task Force, the Young Engineers Advisory Committee, and the Diversity Task Force.
In addition to holding such a wide variety of offices, Dwight has been active in many other ways that have benefited NSPE. First, after winning Young Engineer for the state of Maryland in 2003, he met with numerous state governmental leaders so that they would be aware of the good work of NSPE. These leaders included all three 21st District Maryland State Senators, the Prince Georges County Maryland County Council, the Prince Georges County Maryland County Executive, and U.S. Congressman Albert Wynn (District 4, Maryland). Beyond these activities, Dwight has coordinated and participated in several activities to promote NSPE, MDSPE, and the Potomac Chapter to the public through television and print media.
Beyond Dwight’s academic activities, he is dedicated to promoting professional engineering (P.E.) licensure. He works closely with the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) as a speaker to educate undergraduate students about the P.E. licensure process. He also serves as a co- author of the national P.E. licensure exam.
