Sara McCoy and Anthony Mulligan

Two remarkable AME alumni were recognized for their contributions at the 2016 College of Engineering Homecoming celebration.

Sara McCoy, who received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1993, was given the Bear Down Award for her volunteer work as president of the UA Maricopa County Engineering Council.

In 2014 McCoy became the first woman to manage a power generation plant for the Salt River Project. She oversees the Agua Fria Generation Station, which provides power to more than a million customers in greater Phoenix.

Anthony Mulligan, who earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1988, was surprised with the Leo B. Hart Humanitarian Award for his work as founder and CEO of Hydronalix.

The company produces the Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard robotic rescue buoy, which can travel 40 miles per hour and hold five people. EMILY has saved people from drowning in oceans and waterways around the world.

Hydronalix has sponsored several interdisciplinary Engineering Design Program projects to further develop EMILY's live-saving capabilities.
