Engineering Research Council (ERC)
Curtis W. McGraw Research Award

 

Description and Nomination Guidelines

Nominations for this year's award will be accepted through December 3, 2021. The award is presented at the ERC Annual Business Meeting at the ASEE ERC Research Leadership Institute in March 2022.

Curtis W. McGraw (1895-1953) began his career with McGraw-Hill in 1920 in the book company's hipping department and worked his way up to the presidency of that company in 1950. As a successful business 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 initial assistance of the McGraw-Hill Book Company. Two awards will be made - one to the top applicant from a PhD granting program and one to the top applicant from a non-PhD granting program. The award consists of a $1,500 honorarium and a certificate, as well as reasonable travel costs, up to $750, to attend the ERC Annual Research Leadership Institute where the award is presented.

Nomination Limit:  One nomination per ASEE college/school membership. Nominators are advised to contact their College/School regarding processes used to select the nomination for submission.

Qualifications: Because this award recognizes the significant achievements of early career researchers and educators emphasizing early achievement, trajectory, and potential, recipients must demonstrate:

  1. Research activity in one or more types of research ordinarily carried on by engineering colleges or institutes of technology.
  2. Achievement of important advances accepted by colleagues and by others in the field of specialization with emphasis on quality rather than quantity and sound and productive thinking, and with a promise for making significant contributions to the field of specialization.
  3. 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.
  4. Candidates must be early career researchers at the assistant or associate professor level, within 10 years of starting their first tenure-track academic appointment (or the equivalent if the institution does not have tenure-track appointments) on June 30th of the year the award is presented.
