By Associated Engineering Press

Brian Goodell, a senior from Plattsburgh, New York, majoring in chemical engineering and physics, was awarded the Catherine Johnson Randall Premier Award for his outstanding academic performance at the University.

The Catherine Johnson Randall Premier Award is given yearly to the most outstanding graduating senior based on GPA and rigor of study, as well as scholastic endeavor.

Goodell is in the computer-based honors program at the University, and he said the opportunity to do undergraduate research is one of the reasons he came to Alabama. He said he has a desire to pursue alternative energy options, which led him to his major.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
