I am pleased to learn (and to pass on) that an annual award has been created for a fourth-year University of Toronto engineering student “for the imaginative and successful application of the principles of human factors to the design of a medical device.” This award is established by the family of John W. Senders in honor of his 90th birthday.
John Senders is a Professor Emeritus from the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Toronto, and sports a CV equal to that of a dozen other researchers. He continues to lecture and consult, and shows no signs of quitting his imaginative and successful ways.
