John A Brodie Medal (1976 - )

Summary

The John A Brodie Medal is awarded by the Chemical College Board of Engineers Australia. It is awarded to the author(s) of an original published paper on a chemical engineering related topic, judged to be of practical usefulness with an immediate application to the science, art and practice of chemical engineering.

The paper needs to be presented either at the CHEMECA conference, or published in Chemical Engineering in Australia, or presented at another conference or meeting of the Institution of Engineers Australia during the year prior to the CHEMECA conference, when the medal is awarded.

The award is judged by a subcommittee in the city holding the CHEMECA Conference in the year of award of the medal, and is presented at that CHEMECA Conference. Authors of shortlisted papers are usually awarded with a Certificate of Merit.

The John A Brodie Medal is named in honour of Mr J A Brodie, who was Chief Engineer with Union Carbide and a leading industrial innovator in Australia.
