UFFC Society Awards
The Achievement Award is the highest Society-wide award
presented to a member in special recognition of outstanding
contributions. Selection criteria include significant technical
publications in the field of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, or
frequency control, as well as contributions to these technical
fields, and service to the Society. The Winner is selected by the
Officers and the Awards Committee from nominations
submitted by the general membership. Presentation is
usually at one of the Society's major symposia. The award
consists of an honorarium of $2,000, a plaque and a
certificate.
The Distinguished Service Award recognizes long-term support of the Society's activities. Recognition is given to those who innovate new Society programs, administer major Committees, manage Society functions, or promote the Society's areas of technical interest to the larger community.
The Distinguished Lecturer represents the UFFC Society by giving lecturers worldwide to the larger technical community. The subject of the lecture must be of current interest and the lecturer must be a prominent contributor in the field of the lecture. The speaker is selected for speaking style, prominence in the topic, and willingness to commit significant time and energy to preparation, travel and lectures. The Lecturer is selected by the Distinguished Lecturer Subcommittee of the UFFC-S Awards Committee from nominations received from the general membership. Presentation is usually at one of the Society's major symposia. The award consists of a certificate, and reimbursement for an international lecture tour.
The Outstanding Paper Award is presented to the author(s) of a paper published in the UFFC-S Transactions which exemplifies excellent technical contributions and is clearly written. The winner is selected on the basis of: originality, interest to the membership, contributions to the field, clarity of writing, and timeliness. Selection is made by the Awards Committee. Nominations and comments from the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors and Guest Editors of the Transactions are solicited. Papers are reviewed as a group for each Volume of the UFFC-S Transactions (January through December). In a given year, usually one paper is selected, but the Awards Committee may chose to give no award or multiple awards when circumstances warrant. Presentation is usually at one of the Society's major symposia. The award consists of a plaque and a certificate.
