John Monash Medal (1976 - )

Summary

The John Monash Medal is awarded by Engineering Heritage Australia (EHA), a national committee of Engineers Australia.

The award recognises individuals who have made an outstanding contribution towards increasing the awareness and conservation of Australia's engineering heritage over a considerable period of time. It is awarded annually except when, in the opinion of the EHA Board, there is no worthy nomination.

The award is an inscribed medal with an accompanying certificate signed by the National President of Engineers Australia.

Details

This Medal was approved by the Council of the Institution of Engineers, Australia in 1976 and perpetuates the memory of Sir John Monash who is recognised as Australia's greatest military commander, and who was an engineer of exceptional and diversified talents.

The John Monash Medal was originally awarded in recognition of the paper of outstanding character and originality dealing with General Engineering interests and was first awarded in 1979 by the board of the General College of Engineering.

In 2002, the John Monash Medal was re-designated as an award for engineering heritage.
