Chemical Engineers (AIChE) in recognition of his professional attainment
and significant accomplishments in chemical engineering.
On November 11th, 2005, Tim delivered the 39th ConocoPhillips
Lectureship at Oklahoma State University, entitled "Investing in
Faculty: Rationale and Approach to Faculty Career Development". The
ConocoPhillips Lectureship in Chemical Engineering Education,
co-sponsored by ConocoPhillips and the School of Chemical Engineering at
Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma, is a prestigious,
nationally-recognized annual event at which distinguished faculty give
insightful presentations that share their perspectives on chemical
engineering education.
Along with Matt Ohland, Guili Zhang, and Brian Thorndyke, Tim received
the Benjamin J. Dasher Award for the Best Paper at the 2005 Frontiers in
Education Conference. The paper was entitled "Grade-Point Average,
Changes of Major, and Majors Selected by Students Leaving Engineering".
He also gave the 2005 Plenary Lecture at the 4th ASEE/AaeE Global
Colloquium on Engineering Education, Sydney, Australia. The lecture was
entitled "Experiences of a Multi-Institutional Coalition on
Transformational Change in Undergraduate Engineering Education".

David Boger Wins Australian Prime Minister’s Prize for Science
The 2005 Australian Prime Minister's Prize for Science has been won by
UF Chemical Engineering Courtesy Professor David Boger. The Prime
Minister's Prize is the most highly regarded award for achievement and
excellence in science in Australia. Professor Boger received the award
at a ceremony at Parliament House in Canberra, Australia, on October
4th, 2005.
Professor Boger received this award for his research in the field of
rheology, particularly non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. He is best known
for his discovery of constant viscosity elastic liquids, now known as "Boger
fluids".
Professor Boger is Laureate Professor of Chemical Engineering at the
University of Melbourne and Courtesy Professor in the Chemical
Engineering Department at the University of Florida. He served as
Director of the Particulate Fluids Processing Centre at the University
of Melbourne from 2000 to 2004. He is also a Fellow and Council Member
of the Australian Academy of Science, as well as a Fellow of the
Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering.
