. Koski Medal, an ASME award established in 2007, annually recognizes individuals who have advanced the art and practice of fluid power motion and control through education and/or innovation.

Wayne Book, Professor Emeritus of the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, has been selected to receive the 2013 Robert E. Koski Medal “for a lifetime of contributions and leadership in fluid power education and research related to motion control and the impact of operator interfaces on the control of hydraulic manipulation systems.”

Dr. Book will be formally recognized at the ASME/Bath 2013 Symposium on Fluids Power Motion Control on October 6-9, 2013 in Sarasota, Florida.
