Dr. Enge co-founded the Stanford Center for Position, Navigation, and Time. He held over 30 patents, was a noted writer and editor, and was the recipient of numerous awards and honors including election to the National Academy of Engineers, the Air Force GPS Hall of Fame, and the prestigious GNSS Signals Award from GPS World magazine.
