AIAA Seeks Nominations for Yvonne C. Brill Lectureship
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), in cooperation with the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), has created a new lectureship in honor of Yvonne C. Brill. AIAA or NAE members may nominate individuals to receive the award by January 31, 2014.
Brill passed away earlier this year after a superlative career in aerospace engineering that earned her the National Medal of Technology and Innovation among many other honors. She was as well known for her engineering expertise as for her determination to ensure that aerospace and engineering professionals, especially women, receive due recognition for their accomplishments. The AIAA/NAE lectureship will be presented to an individual with a “distinguished career that involves significant contributions in aerospace research and/or engineering and will be selected based on technical expertise, originality, and influence on other important aerospace issues such as ensuring a diverse and robust engineering community.”
The first lectureship will be presented in September 2014. AIAA has strict requirements for nomination submissions, which are described in the flyer below. The flyer also provides contact information at AIAA to obtain the necessary form.
