About the Author
ANDREW EMERY SAMUEL
Professorial Fellow, Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Melbourne, Australia
September 14, 1934 (Ujpest) – December 3, 2007 (Melbourne)
Professor Andrew Samuel, a pioneer of engineering design research, prolific author and respected educator, passed away on December 3 2007.
Andrew was born in turbulent times in Hungary on September 14, 1934 to a middle class family. In 1944, as a ten year old, he demonstrated his courage and strong will by not wearing the yellow star decreed to identify all Jewish citizens. For twelve months, he lived among strangers and survived that which took the lives of so many. His mother and older brother both perished in Auschwitz.
He came to Australia with his father to start a new life in 1949. Very quickly, Andrew exhibited his high intelligence, quickly gaining a lifelong mastery of the English language in addition to his earlier fluency in German and his native Hungarian. His obvious practical skills led to a trade apprenticeship with the General Motors (Holden)automotive company in Melbourne and Andrew became an expert toolmaker. However, his keen intellect and questing mind were not satisfied: he studied at night school and won a scholarship to the University of Melbourne where he graduated Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) with honours in 1959.
In the 1960’s, his career combined graduate research with practical experience in industry. During the five years from 1963 to 1967, Andrew held responsible design/project engineer positions at Altona Petrochemicals, Massey Ferguson and Australian Paper Manufacturers. He gained his Master’s degree in 1963 in the field of Fluid Mechanics and his Ph.D. followed in 1973, studying “The Development of Turbulent Boundary Layers in Adverse Pressure Gradients.” This latter thesis provided benchmark data for many later theoretical and experimental investigations. Andrew’sthesis had been passed by the examiners twelve months earlier, but he delayed acceptance of the degree until his wife, Eva, had also passed her examination and was ready to receive her Ph.D. (in chemistry). The award of Ph.D.’s to husband and wife at the same ceremony was a unique and significant event, both for the Samuel family
and for the university community in Melbourne.
Andrew returned to the University of Melbourne as a lecturer in 1969, and quickly entered into an ongoing and productive partnership with Dr. William (Bill) Lewis in the field of engineering design.
His unique combination of talents finely honed practical and experimental skills, together with a highly developed capacity for creative, abstract thought established him as a leader in his chosen area of academic expertise. Andrew’s record in teaching, research, and innovative industry/university programmes led to his promotion to senior lecturer (1974), reader (1989), and professor (2002).
In the 1980’s, Andrew established and, until his retirement led, an important and successful research programme in Kinematic Design and Robotics. He formed a productive academic relationship with the late Kenneth Hunt and was consistently successful in attracting high quality researchers and in attracting research funding from industry and from the Australian Research Council (ARC), the national researchfunding
agency. In 1995, Andrew was awarded the degree of Doctor of Engineering by examination for his thesis titled, “Significant Publications in Engineering Design, Robot Kinematics and Engineering Education.” This rare honour marked a significant achievement, as the University of Melbourne has awarded only 15 higher doctorates of this type in the past 100 years.
Andrew was an active member of the Australian National Committee for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms from the 1980s and chaired the committee between 1999 and2003.
Andrew was a stalwart of the biennial International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED) . Either he or a close colleague from the Melbourne Design Group has attended every ICED conference but one since their inauguration in 1981. His contribution culminated in ICED 05 when, due to his vision, initiative and careful preparation, the Design Society accepted the Melbourne bid for the 2005 conference. This was the first ICED conference to be held in the southern hemisphere and only the
second not to be held in Europe. All who attended that conference will recall his calm but very effective
chairing of meetings and of the conference dinner, but only those close to him at the time were aware of the prodigious effort and the mindnumbing work load he cheerfully accepted to ensure the success of the conference.
With such a major undertaking as ICED 05 behind him, one might think that Andrew would retire into a relaxed and comfortable life style. But nothing could be further from the truth. Andrew’s intense personal drive and his desire to meet and overcome every challenge were unabated. As such, two textbooks followed, the first on Make and Test Projects in Engineering Design (2006), the second on Forensic Engineering (2007), both published by Springer. In the last year of his life, Andrew also completed a substantial family history, ensuring that his children and grandchildren have, for posterity, a
clear idea of their family’s background, extending back to its 19th century roots in Eastern Europe. As well, he produced two momentous volumes on 30 years of his travel experiences, including 2,000 pictures, a testament to his photographic skills.
Andrew was both diverse and prolific. He was the author or coauthor of four textbooks on engineering design and forensic engineering; and editor of proceedings of two international conferences on engineering design and one national conference on machines and mechanisms.Andrew published 42 refereed articles in international journals and 60 refereed conference papers on topics in a range of diverse fields: engineering design research, engineering education and design education, kinematic
design and robotics, manufacturing engineering, operations research and technology management, and fluid mechanics and energy systems. Andrew secured over $1.5 million from research agencies, governments and industry, a significant amount in the context of Australian universities in the latter part of the 20th century. Andrew also supervised nine Ph.D. students (all now pursuing productive careers in
Australia and the US) and ten Master of Engineering Science degrees.
To give some balance to our story and to emphasise the qualitative side of Andrew’s achievements, we could do no better than quote one of his former students, now a leading researcher in the UK, who has written, “He [Andrew] was a great enthusiast and an inspiration for all his students”.
Andrew’s life outside the university was also very full. With his wife and family, he was a keen skier and traveller for many years, as long as his health allowed. He and Eva enjoyed (or should one say, “survived!”) enduring partnerships on the golf course and at the bridge table. He was able to enjoy competitive bridge till the last week of his life. He was a passionate listener of both Jazz and classical music, a prolific reader, and lover of Australian timber, from which he designed and hand built almost
all the furniture in his home. Many university friends were fortunate enough to attend the Samuels’ Christmas barbecues, where cheerful hospitality and a great spirit of academic camaraderie were the order of the day.
Throughout his academic career, Andrew emphasised scholarship and he never wavered in his commitment to the university ideal of advancing knowledge for the betterment of mankind. His oftrepeated mantra to postgraduatestudents was, “Aspire to scholarship!”
He deplored recent trends in Australia, trends perhaps reflecting events in other countries, where reducing government funding and micromanagement of academic affairs has had an increasingly intrusive and devastating effect on the personal autonomy of academic staff. Andrew Samuel’s life is a shining example of all that is best in universities.
Aware of his illness for the last five years, with severe discomfort over the past 12 months, he always maintained his dignity and courage. In the words of John Mortimer, one of his favourite authors, “The world will be an emptier colder, less friendly place without him.”
Andrew is survived by his wife, Eva their children, Debbie, Wayne and Fiona and their families, that now includes seven beautiful grandchildren.

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
