The Technical Review, Notre Dame's engineering magazine, won six awards from Engineering College Magazine Associated (ECMA) for its 1999-2000 issues. This volume is the most honored in the history of the magazine's participation in the competition.

Senior math major Meghan Nugle-Peterson received first place in the best pure technical article for her story," Seeing Through the Dark," in the February 2000 issue.

John Barry, editor-in-chief and senior chemical engineer placed first in two categories. His humor column, which varied in every issue, placed as best continuous feature. His topics ranged from student perspectives of the magazine as a "shinny beverage coaster" to "13 Myths at Notre Dame." His humorous feature, "Successful Interviewing," in the November 1999 issue placed first in the most entertaining feature category.

The Tech Review staff received second place for best single issue for the February 2000 issue.

The September 1999 issue, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the magazine, won an honorable mention for Ryan Mariotti and Michael LaMorra for best layout for a single issue.

The awards were distributed at a banquet during the annual ECMA conference April 8 and 9 in Berkeley, Calif., with 12 of 25 ECMA schools in attendance. Editor-in-chief John Barry and layout editor Ryan Mariotti represented The Tech Review at the conference.
