Born in France and educated in France and Switzerland, Ferdinand
Beer held an M.S. degree from the Sorbonne and an Sc.D. degree in
theoretical mechanics from the University of Geneva. He came to the
United States after serving in the French army during the early
part of World War II and taught for four years at Williams College
in the Williams-MIT joint arts and engineering program. Following
his service at Williams College, Beer joined the faculty of Lehigh
University, where he taught for thirty-seven years. He held several
positions, including the University Distinguished Professors Chair
and Chairman of the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics
Department. In 1995, Beer was awarded an honorary Doctor of
Engineering degree by Lehigh University.
Born in Philadelphia, Russ holds a B.S. degree in civil engineering
from the University of Delaware and an Sc.D. degree in the field of
structural engineering from The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT). He taught at Lehigh University and Worchester
Polytechnic Institute (WPI) before joining the faculty of the
University of Connecticut where he held the position of Chairman of
the Civil Engineering Department and taught for twenty-six years.
In 1991 Russ received the Outstanding Civil Engineer Award from the
Connecticut Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Elliot holds a B.S. degree in engineering and an M.E. degree, both
from Cornell University. He has focused his scholarly activities on
professional service and teaching, and he was recognized for this
work in 1992 when the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME) awarded him the Ben C. Sparks Medal for his contributions to
mechanical engineering and mechanical engineering technology
education and for service to the American Society for Engineering
Education (ASEE). Elliot taught for thirty-two years, including
twenty-nine years at Penn State where he was recognized with awards
for both teaching and advising.
Phillip J. Cornwell holds a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering
from Texas Tech University and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical
and aerospace engineering from Princeton University. He is
currently a professor of mechanical engineering at Rose-Hulman
Institute of Technology, where he has taught since 1989. His
present interests include structural dynamics, structural health
monitoring, and undergraduate engineering education. Cornwell
spends his summers working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where
he is a mentor in the Los Alamos Dynamics Summer School and does
research in the area of structural health monitoring. He received
an SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award in 1992, the Dean's
Outstanding Scholar Award at Rose-Hulman in 2000, and the Board of
Trustees Outstanding Scholar Award at Rose-Hulman in 2001.
