Description
The
ADS/Hancor Soil & Water Engineering Award
honors and recognizes a member of ASABE who has performed noteworthy
contributions to the advancement of soil and water engineering in teaching,
research, planning, design, construction, management or development of
materials. These contributions shall have been either in the form of published
literature, notable performance, or special actions which have served to advance
the science of soil and water engineering.
In
1966 the Hancock Brick & Tile Co. sponsored an award recognizing noteworthy
soil and water engineering advancements in teaching, research, planning,
design, construction, management, or materials development. The award was
created to recognize outstanding drainage engineering work in the first two
years, but in 1968 the scope expanded to include all aspects of soil and water
engineering for agriculture. Hancor, Inc. was
formed as a division of the Hancock Brick & Tile Co. in 1967, and the
company name was formally changed to Hancor, Inc. in
1974. Hancor, Inc. continued the award
sponsorship until 2005 when ADS, Inc. purchased Hancor, Inc. Following the acquisition, the award was
sponsored by ADS/Hancor, Inc. In 2007
ADS/Hancor, Inc. endowed the
award.
The
award shall consist of a polished hardwood plaque mounted with a bronze
medallion engraved with the elements symbolic of the relationship between
agricultural engineering and a productive natural
environment
