An Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Award (renamed in 2022) is bestowed upon an individual, company or organization for developments in engineering, science, and technology that are either so extensive an improvement on existing methods or so innovative in nature that they materially affect the production, recording, transmission or reception of television, and thereby have elevated the storytelling process.
