In 1986, Mr. Zandin was the recipient of the first 'Technical Innovation in Industrial Engineering Award' presented by the Institute of Industrial Engineers for his 'significant innovative contributions to the industrial engineering profession.' In 1990, Mr. Zandin received the 'Royal Charter Award' from the Institution of Production Engineers in Great Britain.

Mr. Zandin served on the Visiting Committee for the Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh for many years and on the Board of Directors of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers from 1995 to 2001.

Mr. Zandin was a Senior Member and Fellow of the Institute of Industrial Engineers and a Fellow of the World Academy of Productivity Science.

Mr. Zandin held an MSc degree in mechanical engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden supplemented by education in Business Administration at the Institute of Business Management in Stockholm, Sweden.
