The Solberg Award is given to the

U.S. citizen who has made the most significant contribution to naval en- gineering through personal research carried out during or culminating in the three-year period ending in the year of consideration.

On May 6, following the Friday morning technical sessions, the

This lecture series will sponsor a philosophical and objective perspec- tive from Dr. Robert A. Frosch, vice president, General Motors Re- search Institute.

The Saunders Award is presented annually to the U.S. citizen who has demonstrated productivity, growth and outstanding accomplishment in the field of naval engineering over the years, with ultimate wide recog- nition by his peers as a leader in the field and of such prestige as to merit acclamation by the naval engineer- ing community.
