Sir George Julius Medal (1976 - )

Summary

The Sir George Julius Medal has been awarded since 1976, by the Mechanical College of Engineers Australia, to the author(s) of the publication in the field of mechanical engineering in Australia judged to be the best of those submitted for consideration. The publication may be for a paper, group of related papers, book or monograph.

The successful recipient(s) are presented with a Bronze Medal and accompanying Certificate at an appropriate Engineers Australia Mechanical College event in their home state.

From 1976 to 2001, the award was known as the George Julius Medal, which replaced the Mechanical Engineering Prize that was established in 1955.

The medal perpetuates the memory of George Alfred Julius (1873-1946) who practised in Sydney as a consulting engineer in the mechanical/electrical field and who invented the world's first automatic totalisator in Australia in 1913.
