SES promotes the development and strengthening of the interfaces between various disciplines in engineering, sciences, mathematics, and related fields. Our conferences are recognized as the leading forums for bringing together diverse, interdisciplinary groups of researchers to discuss advances in highly focused symposia.
The 2026 SES Eringen Medal was awarded to Vijay Kumar for pioneering contributions to robotics, including foundational advances in cooperative manipulation, multi-robot formation control, autonomous swarms, and agile aerial vehicles, translating rigorous theory into transformative engineering applications in autonomy, field robotics, and industry-shaping innovations
The 2026 SES Yonggang Huang Engineering Science Medal was awarded to Dimitris Lagoudas for theoretical and computational developments in the field of smart and multifunctional materials, especially shape memory alloys (SMAs), with significant contributions to the design, modeling, and implementation of SMAs as actuators in morphing adaptive structures
The 2026 Prager Medal was awarded to Samuel Forest for making the mechanics of generalized continua amenable to engineering applications involving size and microstructure effects in the plasticity and failure of crystalline and composite materials and structures
The 2025 SES Taylor Medal was awarded to Tommaso Ruggeri for outstanding contribution to fluid mechanics and the development of the rational extended thermodynamics
The Society of Engineering Science Technical Meeting is held annually to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and information among the various disciplines of engineering and the physical and life sciences as well as mathematics.
