Professor Emeritus John P. Hirth was an exemplary teacher and researcher in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. Dr. Hirth joined MME in 1988 and retired in 1997. Professor Hirth developed many theories that form the basis for much of our current understanding of materials and how they behave. More importantly, his mentoring of hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students at Washington State University resonates well beyond those he has interacted with directly. This endowment fund was established to honor Professor Hirth's legacy at Washington State University. |
| Eri B. Parker Scholarship Scholarship for full time undergraduates in Mechanical Engineering. Based on financial need and academic achievement. Professor Parker was at WSU in the Forties. |
| R. V. Subramanian Scholarship Fund A fellowship for one or more graduate students in Mechanical and Materials Engineering. Funds are administered by the Director. This Fellowship was created in 1999 by a generous gift from Balaji Subramanian to honor his father, R. V. Subramanian, a professor of materials science and engineering at WSU from 1969 to 1997. Dr. Subramanian helped initiate a vigorous research and academic program in polymers, and developed a patented process for producing high-strength reinforcing fibers from naturally occurring basalt. Dr. Subramanian earned his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in chemistry from the University of Madras in India. |
