The Awards Programs began back in 1938 with the first contest for the best technical papers on the application of arc welding to design and production, which resulted in the submission of 1,981 papers. Of these, 446 papers were given cash awards totaling $200,000 ($2.68 million adjusted for inflation), with the top award being worth $13,700 ($183,000 in today's dollars). The program was international in scope, with the First Grand Award going to a project submitted by the president and a stockholder of Wellman Engineering Company of Cleveland, Ohio, and the Second Grand Award being won by engineers on the staff of Diagrid Structures, Ltd. of London, England.
Today, the college and school shop award programs have continued in the United
States with an invitation to global participants as well. To view information
