DR
Dr. Charles Proteus Steinmetz Memorial Lecture Series
Dr. Charles Proteus Steinmetz (1865-1923) is one of the greatest contributors to the growth of the electrical industry in the United States. As a former national president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and as a distinguished engineer who performed his work in Schenectady New York, it is fitting that the Schenectady Section of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers should commemorate him.
Dr. Steinmetz came to the United States in 1890, completely unknown and impoverished, and in a span of 33 years became world renowned for his contributions to the electrical industry. Engineers will remember him best for his investigations in the fields of machine design, lighting, and the symbolic method of alternating current calculations.
Dr. Steinmetz's many friends and admirers created the Steinmetz Memorial Lecture Endowment Fund in 1925. Since then, more than sixty eminent scientists and engineers have presented public lectures on the Union College campus in Schenectady, New York in honor of Charles Proteus Steinmetz.
Steinmetz Memorial Lecturers include such leaders and innovators as Robert A. Millikan, Igor I. Sikorsky, Irving Langmuir, Arthur H. Compton, Simon Ramo, Lillian M. Gilbreth, Claude E. Shannon, Vice-Admiral H.G. Rickover, William Shockley, Jay W. Forrester, Hans A. Bethe, Benoit B. Mandelbrot, and Ray Dolby.
