in 1920 in the book company's shipping department

executive, he carved for himself a place of
importance and distinction in the book publishing
world.
The
Curtis W. McGraw Research Award was established
in 1957 to recognize outstanding early achievements
by young engineering college research workers
and to encourage the continuance of such productivity.
The Award:
The annual award is sponsored by the Engineering
Research Council with the assistance of the
McGraw-Hill Book Company. The award consists
of a $1,000 honorarium and a certificate,
as well as $500 to defray travel costs to
attend the Engineering Research Council (ERC)
Forum where the award is presented.
Qualifications:
Because this award recognizes the significant
achievements of young researchers and educators,
recipients must demonstrate:
Research activity
in one or more types of research ordinarily
carried on by engineering colleges or
institutes of technology.
Achievement
of important advances accepted by colleagues
and by others in the field of specialization
with emphasis on quality rather than quantity
as well as sound and productive thinking
and with a promise for making other significant
contributions
Outstanding research
abilities, including discoveries and other
original contributions to engineering fundamentals;
conceptions and improvements of laboratory
techniques or devices; the publication of
books, monographs and scholarly papers; and
activities in educational professional societies.
