the National Academy of Engineering, in addition to service on the
boards of many other corporations and organizations.
Augustine
received the National Medal of Technology in 1997 and the Public

of Science panel on U.S. competitiveness, which produced a highly
influential report, "Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and
Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future."
