In memory of Given A. Brewer, Teledyne Engineering Services, Waltham,
Massachuetts, established the Brewer Teledyne Award in 1989 (now called
Brewer Award).
Mr. Brewer created Brewer
Engineering Laboratories. As its director, Mr. Brewer carried out over 700
projects using experimental and theoretical techniques. His business was
later sold to Teledyne and he became a consultant to the company. Mr.
Brewer was a valued member of SEM and was active in both leadership and
technical activities. The annual award will consist of an award plaque in the
recipient's name.
The criteria for the award stipulates that it be given to "an
outstanding practicing experimentalist" chosen by the Honors
Committee. The award is intended as recognition of skill in the practical
application of experimental mechanics techniques. A person whose primary
affiliation is with a university would be eligible if substantial amounts of
consulting work involved hands-on experimental analysis. The first Brewer-Teledyne award
was presented in June, 1989 to (Mrs.) Heidi Brewer in her husband's
memory. |
