About the fellowship

The purpose of the fellowship is to further the education of worthy civil engineering graduate students engaged in the study of experimental hydraulics as distinguished from that of purely “theoretical hydraulics.” To this end, emphasis is to be placed on practical experiments designed and executed for the purpose of advancing knowledge with respect to the laws of hydraulic flow, rather than to the type of research which proceeds on the theory of mathematical based on assumptions of unknown validity. The essence of the purpose of the research is to test the assumptions which are currently made, and also to develop a better understanding of fluid flow.  This award is offered every third year.

Eligibility

• The fellowship may be awarded only to those students who will continue their formal graduate education in civil engineering.
• Previous recipients of the fellowship are eligible to apply in any succeeding competition for these awards provided the other requirements of eligibility are satisfied.

Award period
