Freeman scholarship honors work in fluids engineering

A person of high capability and considerable experience in an area of fluids engineering will be selected next year as the 2005 Freeman Scholar. Applications for the 18th Freeman Scholar Program are due Aug. 1, 2005.

The chosen scholar will be expected to make a major review of a coherent topic in his or her specialty, prepare a comprehensive statement of the state of the field, and suggest key research needs for the future.

After suitable review, the results will be presented publicly at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress under the auspices of the Fluids Engineering Division, and published in the ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering.

The recipient may be from industry, government, education or private professional practice. Membership in ASME is not required.

The honorarium for preparing the review, producing a manuscript in a form for publication, and presenting the results at the 2006 International Mechanical Engineering Congress is $7,500. There will be an additional allowance to cover the cost of travel to the Congress.

The scholar should be available, as far as personal commitments permit, for presentation of the lecture at sites of fluids engineering activity in industry, government or education.

Applications are to be submitted by Aug. 1, 2005. For details, visit www.asme.org/honors.
