The John Ericsson
Medal
|
|
|
| The
John Ericsson medal, which is awarded by the American society of Swedish
engineers, was established in 1926. It was named "the John
Ericsson medal" to honor the great Swedish born American
engineering genius, who designed and built the "monitor", a low
profile steel warship, which saved fort Monroe at Hampton roads for the
union during the American civil war in 1862. |
| The medal is awarded every
other year to a Swedish, American or Canadian citizen of Swedish
extraction in recognition of extraordinary achievements in the fields of
science and technology.
|
|
|
To date, the John
Ericsson medal has been awarded 36 times. Among the recipients are several
Nobel Prize winners including our member, Dr. Glenn Seaborg.
