Chemical Engineering Prize (1964 - 1975)

Summary

The Chemical Engineering Prize was founded upon an allocation from the funds of The Institution, and is awarded annually for the paper deemed to be the most important contribution to the literature of the engineering profession on a chemical engineering or allied subject.

Papers submitted for the award were judged by the Papers and Publications Committee of the Council of the Institution.

The award consisted of a certificate and a cash premium.

After 1975, when the Chemical Engineering College was formed, the award was renamed the John A Brodie Award.
