Our Awards

ASSE bestows two awards: The ASSE Graduate Engineering Student Award and the prestigious JOHN ERICSSON Gold Medal.
Please find below the recipients of the awards through the years.....

 

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.
