Rine has received numerous research, teaching, and service awards from computer
science and engineering societies and associations, including the IEEE
Centennial Award, IEEE Pioneer Award, IEEE Computer Society Meritorious Service
Awards, the IEEE Computer Society Special Awards, IEEE Computer Society 50th
anniversary Golden Core Award, and historical IEEE Computer Society Honor Roll
and Distinguished Technical Services Awards. He has been a pioneer in graduate,
undergraduate, and high school education, producing computer science texts and
leading establishment of the International Advanced Placement Computer Science
program for the nation's high school students, co-designer of the first
computer science and engineering curriculum (1976), and the first masters in
software engineering curriculum (1978). He has been an editor of a number of
prestigious software-oriented journals. During his tenure, he has authored over
300 published works and has directed many PhD students. Complementing his work
at GMU, he has worked on many international technology and relief projects in
