ESM is pleased to announce the establishment of The Robert M. and Mary Haythornthwaite Graduate Fund for Innovation in Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State University. The purpose of this fund is to provide financial support for innovative, cutting-edge research in the field of Engineering Science and Mechanics by a graduate student. An innovation fund in the amount of $10,000 for one year will be made available to the candidate selected. The fund will underwrite the research costs and will be administered by the ESM Department. One hundred percent of the funds received must be used for the candidate’s research. Funding will be available for one year, beginning July 1, 2011, with the potential for renewal for one year.
Full time candidates for the Ph.D. degree in Engineering Science and Mechanics, who have passed their candidacy examination, have an approved thesis topic, a thesis advisor, and have appointed their thesis committee, are eligible to apply.
Students will compete for the innovation fund by submitting an essay of no more than 1000 words on the topic “Innovation in Engineering Science and Mechanics”, together with a current transcript and a resume that includes (as appropriate): papers published or in press; presentations; awards received; and leadership activities. The essay should feature the innovations in the student’s research program that would be made possible by an innovation fund of $10,000. Two letters of support, including one from the entrant’s thesis advisor, are required. Applications are sought from a broad spectrum of research areas that are recognized to be engineering science and mechanics by the selection committee. The deadline for applications is April 1, 2011, for the 2011-2012 academic year.
