They possess a minimum of 20 years of active practice in, or related to, the profession of engineering; the teaching of engineering; or the teaching of an engineering-related curriculum and a minimum of 20 years as an active Member-Engineer or Member in ASABE.”

Mickelson and Maier were inducted in a ceremony held at the ASABE annual international conference in Detroit. Of the just 13 ASABE members elected Fellows this year, two were Iowa State faculty.
