Norman Medal

The Norman Medal is the highest honor granted by the American Society of Civil Engineers for a technical paper that makes a definitive contribution to engineering science and is distinguished by its "practical value" and "impact on engineering practice". The medal was instituted by ASCE in 1872 and originally endowed by George H. Norman, M.ASCE. In 1897, ASCE assumed responsibility for the Norman Medal.

This list contains recipients of the Norman Medal since 1874 (the first year it was awarded).
