I'm not sure if he won any awards, but even if he didn't, he should have because of how effective this piece of wire is today.
He is very famous for inventing the paper clip. He also has a show named " Parks and Recreation " .
The original paper clip is still the same even after centuries, but you can get different shaped and sized ones too.
The most common paper clip is two almost complete loops. The type of engineering for this is most likely Materials Engineering.
Just look in you pencil case, desk or office drawers, and you might find a paper clip hidden inside. Just don't be that lady!
