Synopsis

The 25th Anniversary Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science was held as a joint conference with the Applied Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley from June 20-22, 1988. With the encouragement and support of the SES, we decided to organize a symposium in honor of A. C. Eringen: the founding president of the Society of Engineering Science who provided pioneering leadership during the critical first decade of the Society's existence. We felt that there was no better way to do this than with a Symposium on Engineering Science -- the field that A. C. Eringen has devoted his life to. Professor Eringen had the foresight, even in his own early work, to see the need for an intimate amalgamation of engineering and science (transcending the bounds of the traditional engineering disciplines) to address unsolved problems of technological importance. Sustained by the belief that there was the need to provide a forum for researchers who had embraced this broader interdisciplinary approach, Professor Eringen founded the Society of Engineering Science and the International Journal of Engineering Science in 1963. Since that time, he has made countless contributions to the advancement of engineering science through his research, educational and organizational activities. The participants in the Symposium were former students and colleagues of Professor Eringen who have been strongly influenced by his professional activities and research in engineering science.
