An engineering medal was recently awarded to John Udd, director of mining research laboratories for CANMET (Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology) in Ottawa, for his efforts in uniting Canadian industry, academic and government mining research efforts.
Udd was one of nine members of the Ontario engineering profession to receive medals at the Toronto ceremony from the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario.
Udd was recognized for conceiving and designing a government-industry research effort which co-ordinates mining research programs on a national basis and eliminates duplication. Focus of the research is rockbursts, or sudden collapses of mine openings and stopes.
