For Haas' support and encouragement of women students in engineering, in 1977, she was elected as one of five "Very Important Women" on campus by the Association of Women Students. In 1977, Haas received the D.D. Ewing Award as an outstanding teacher in the Purdue School of Electrical Engineering. She received the 1978 Helen B. Schleman Medallion Award for her service and encouragement of women in academic and professional areas. In the 1970s, Haas was a nominee for the distinguished science award of the Society of Women Engineers.
