1991 ASCE Technical Visitation Program

授予美国土木工程师学会这个奖项的目的是为了让美国土木工程师学会组织一个前往德国、奥地利、匈牙利和捷克斯洛伐克的技术考察团。美国土木工程师学会实际上与这些国家的工程学会(捷克斯洛伐克学会除外)签订了合作协定，这些协定有助于加强美国土木工程师与有协定的国家的土木工程师之间的关系。这项研究任务将在很大程度上有助于巩固这些关系，并为美国工程师和这些国家的工程师之间未来的合作研究努力注入活力。在匈牙利和捷克斯洛伐克从中央计划经济向市场驱动的经济转型过程中，派往这些国家的代表团在这方面具有特别重要的意义。

The purpose of this award to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is for ASCE to organize a technical study mission to Germany, Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. ASCE has in effect Agreements of Cooperation with engineering societies in these countries (with the exception of the Czechoslovakian societies) and these agreements are instrumental in strengthening the relationships between American civil engineers and those of the countries where the Agreements exist. This study mission will assist materially in cementing these relationships and energizing future cooperative research efforts between U.S. engineers and those in these countries. The mission to Hungary and Czechoslovakia is particularly significant in this regard as these countries move from a centrally planned to a market-driven economy.
