Since 1988, this prize has been presented annually to graduates in EECS who achieve the highest distinction in the pre-doctoral examination. It was established in memory of Tong Leong Lim, who ranked as the top student in his pre-doctoral examination. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 1976, under Professor George Turin. Top scoring student information is provided to the Awards Committee by the EECS Center for Student Affairs. No nominations are solicited for this award.
