Engineering Honor Society Recognizes USA’s Dr. John Steadman

The Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society has named PEP Board Member Dr. John W. Steadman, dean emeritus and professor of engineering at the University of South Alabama, a recipient of its 2024 Asad M. Madni Distinguished Alumnus Award in recognition of his decades of service as a leader in engineering education, in the practice of engineering and in his local community.

“I am very honored and humbled to receive this recognition from Tau Beta Pi,” Steadman said. “I would never have dreamed that I would receive this award, especially considering the amazing engineers who have previously received this distinction.”

Steadman has three electrical engineering degrees: a B.S. and M.S. from the University of Wyoming and a Ph.D. from Colorado State University. He spent nearly 35 years as a professor, department head and associate dean of engineering at the University of Wyoming before being named dean of South’s College of Engineering in 2003. He left the position of dean in 2019 but remains on faculty.
