  yes when there is nobel for scientists, and golden globe,oscars for the entertainment sector there should be an award to appreciate good engineers.. it will make them feel good and also motivate them to bring in more innovations 😀

  "scientists invent and engineers innovate"
  lets not treat them alike here
  and why not have a award for the most innovative person(or engineer) 😁

  Some engineering groups/associations do have awards and offer recognition. Looks like you are looking for a global level. We could do that!

  We're going to do that anyway. I wonder why the modern creators of the world aren't don't have an award yet.
  
  Do you think it will help in promoting engineering as a career and more engineers turning into creators/innovators?

  Even now, I think, the number is not less. But awards can make it better. Because its a chance to make history!😀

  Engineering is such a broad field that it makes it extremely difficult to have one single award like Oscar (unless, they come up with an equivalent of Nobel prizes).
  
  However, there are some prestigious awards like The Turing award in computer science. In India, Bhatnagar prize is fairly known. Similarly, in most countries, a fraction of the highest civilian awards are allocated to engineers.
  
  For younger students, contests like programming olympics are great.

  I don't want to comment about national things. But i have strongly recommending for award for best mod. best helpful CE. & this is done by online voting only by CEans. This is done at most once in six months.
