WARRENDALE, Pa. (PRWEB) September 22, 2015 -- SAE International announces the expansion of its SAE John Johnson Award for Outstanding Research in Diesel Engines to honor individual leaders in the field.
Established in 2008, the award traditionally recognized authors of an SAE International outstanding technical paper that addresses research advancements in diesel engines regarding efficiency and low emissions achieved by innovative experimental and modeling research of the engine, fuel and/or after treatment systems.
The award now also recognizes an engineer who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in research and development in the field of diesel engines through a singular accomplishment or lifetime achievement Nominations are accepted in odd years for the award given to an individual and is presented in even years. An award committee selects the outstanding paper and that award is presented in odd years. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2016 year.
