Lewis S. Goodfriend
Lewis S. Goodfriend named Fellow of INCE/USA
Lewis S. Goodfriend was named one of the first members of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering to be elected to the grade of fellowship. The Board of Directors for INCE/USA for- mally approved the grade of fellowship to honor and recognize publicly any member who has rendered service to the institute and has made notable or distinguished contributions to the advancement of noise control engi- neering or notably promoted knowl- edge of noise control engineering.
Mr. Goodfriend served as presi- dent of Lewis S. Goodfriend & Associates from 1953 to 2002. He is a Consulting Engineer serving clients in the areas of architectural acoustics; noise assessment and control programs for industry, communities, and air- ports; air conditioning noise control and product development.
Mr. Goodfriend received a degree in mechanical engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1947 and a Master of Electrical Engineering degree from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1952. He is a licensed professional engineer in New Jersey, New York and California.
Lewis Goodfriend is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and the Audio Engineering Society, a past president and former member of the board of directors of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering, senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, member of the Consulting Engineers Council, the American Industrial Hygiene Association, and the American Society for Testing and Materials. Additionally, He served on the board of trustees of Stevens Institute of Technology. He served as editor of The Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Noise Control, a publication of the Acoustical Society of America, Sound and Vibration Magazine, Noise Control Engineering and Noise Control Engineering Journal of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering.
Lawrence Crum
Lawrence Crum elected President of ISTU
Lawrence Crum, Professor at the University of Washington, was recently elected President of the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU). ISTU was formed in 2001 to serve this rapidly expanding medical discipline and now has over 400 mem- bers. It has held a symposium every
year since 2001, the most recent was held in Aix-en-Provence in September, 2009. The next symposium will be held in Tokyo, 9-13 June 2010.
Professor Crum was also elected to the Danish Academy of Natural Sciences in November, 2009. The Danish Academy recognizes contribu- tions to all the natural sciences and limits new membership to 10 per year.
Courtney Burroughs
INCE/USA awards Distinguished Service Medals
The Institute of Noise Control Engineering (INCE/USA) has named Courtney Burroughs, Joseph Cuschieri, George Maling, and Nora Maling recipients of its Distinguished Service Medal in 2009. The INCE/USA Distinguished Service Medal is pre- sented to individuals who have shown exceptional dedication and service above and beyond the call of duty to INCE/USA. It is an award that acknowledges volunteers who provide significant and sustained help to INCE/USA and thus also the profes- sion.
Courtney Burroughs was cited for the idea and its implementation to make INCE conference papers avail- able electronically, so that people with particular noise control problems could perform a search and see what people had done and find people to contact. This effort has, and continues to be, very time consuming. He also became the Editor of the Noise Control Engineering Journal and has helped for many years with reviewing and prepar- ing new Board Certification exam questions and sample problems, and in the tedious process of grading exams taken by candidates. He also works with George Maling and the Technical Chairs of the INCE/USA conferences
