Description
The
Rain Bird Engineering Concept of the Year Award honors and recognizes an
engineer or engineering team for a unique contribution to developing or
advancing a new engineering concept. A "concept" is defined as "a thought or
opinion that has been clearly defined and has resulted in either some form of
hardware, standard of practice, trend in design, educational practice, or has
otherwise manifested itself in some practical usable scheme or plan related to
agricultural engineering or the industries it serves." It may represent an
entirely new invention or concept or it may represent a major reevaluation or an
important innovation of a known concept.
