美国国家工程院的新闻稿称，入选NAE院士，对于工程师而言是最高的专业荣誉。这一荣誉是对入选人在工程领域内从事研究、实践和教育做出卓越贡献的肯定。
美国国家工程院官网介绍，院士的评定由同行（当前美国国家工程院院士）推荐。
值得一提的是，美国国家工程院拒绝个人申请。无论是院士（美国国籍）还是外籍院士（非美国国籍）候选人提名和选举，需要符合下述1个或2个类别：
1.授予那些在工程领域内从事研究、实践和教育并做出卓越贡献的人士，其中包括对工程研究做出正确的、巨大的贡献的学者。
2.还有那些对新的技术领域起到开创作用、在传统工程领域具有突出贡献、或者是在工程教育中开发或者采纳了创新方法的学者。
除了上述两个条件外，美国国家工程院还特别提到了一点：院士候选人应保证自己的专业诚信，并被同行和其他专业人士认可。
院士候选人具体的选举过程为，由当前一名院士推荐，并有三名额外的院士或荣誉院士支持。提名和候选人的申请时间一般在每年的2月至5月之间。每年的提名人选仅向当前的院士发布，并对外严格保密。美国国家工程院同行委员会对各个领域的提名人进行审查，并向美国国家工程院委员会给出建议，以便美国国家工程院的理事会进行审议。最终的入选名单在下一年的1月份经过全院的成员投票选出，结果于2月中旬对外界公布。整个过程都严格保密。
Facebook、微软人工智能“大牛”入选
在今年的名单中，人工智能领域有两位著名人物入选。分别是Facebook人工智能实验室主任杨乐昆（Yann LeCun），微软全球执行副总裁沈向洋。
杨乐昆出生在法国，曾在多伦多大学跟随深度学习鼻祖Geoffrey Hinton进行博士后的研究，现在是纽约大学终身教授，是人工智能神经网络研究的先锋。在加盟Facebook之前，他在贝尔实验室工作了超过20年，那里是全世界最著名的计算机研究实验室，诞生过许多伟大的产品。杨乐昆在贝尔实验室工作期间开发了一套能够识别手写数字的系统，并把它命名为LeNet。这个系统能自动识别银行支票。
2013年，Facebook成立了人工智能研究实验室（FAIR），杨乐昆成为Facebook这个新成立实验室的主任。
美国国家工程院给杨乐昆入选的理由为：“开发了卷积神经网络，并将它们应用于计算机视觉和其他人工智能领域。”
沈向洋值得一提的是，微软全球执行副总裁沈向洋是今年美国国家工程院选出的外籍院士之一。沈向洋出生在江苏南京，大学毕业于南京工学院（现为东南大学）；后相继获得香港大学电机电子工程系硕士学位；研究生毕业后，进入卡内基梅隆大学计算机学院，成为著名的计算机专家拉吉·瑞迪（Raj Reddy）教授的学生，1996年获卡内基梅隆大学计算机学院机器人专业博士学位。
沈向洋是计算机视觉和图形学研究的专家，同时也是美国电气电子工程协会院士（IEEE Fellow）及国际计算机协会院士（ACM Fellow），曾任国际计算视觉期刊编委会成员，担任2007年计算机视觉国际会议议程主席。曾发表关于计算机视觉、计算机图形学、图形识别、统计学习和机器人科学方面100多篇论文，拥有超过50项美国专利。
对于沈向洋的入选，美国国家工程院认为：“对计算机视觉和计算机图形学有突出贡献，领导行业的研究和产品发展”。
