SAE International Award for Student Achievement and Technical Proficiency Honoring Phil and Jean Myers.

Purpose:

To recognize students who demonstrate outstanding technical expertise through the presentation of a technical paper or engineering project in association with a major SAE meeting, event or student competition.

The late Dr. Phil Myers and his wife Jean were lifelong devotees to students and SAE International. Myers was a renowned expert on internal combustion engines, and before his retirement, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Together with his wife, they set a high standard for excellence, concern for students, and involvement with SAE. In their honor, an award was established in 1997, to annually recognize the best technical writing by a student.

Criteria:

The writings must be based on work done by the author(s) while an undergraduate or graduate student and presented at a major SAE event.

Eligibility:

Members of the Selection Committee are not eligible for this award while serving on the committee. Two years must pass before former members of the Selection Committee are eligible to receive the award.

Recognition:

This includes an award and honorarium to the lead student author and is presented at an SAE event.
