Harvey Manbeck, distin guished professor of agricultural engineering, recently received the 1999 Alex and Jessie C. Black Award for Excellence in Research. Manbeck is a renowned researcher in wood engineering and structural design. His work on hardwood Umber bridges and post frame buildings has been recog nized nationwide. He is a member of the structural system group in Penn State’s Housing Research Center and a member of the Pen nsylvania Transportation Institute. “Having the opportunity to combine engineering research with graduate and undergraduate education has been one of the joys of my life,” Manbeck said. “With out question, the most rewarding aspect of my research career is being a part of the intellectual growth of young engineers as they develop a broad spectrum of research skills." Alex Black and his wife, Jessie, endowed the Black Award for Excellence in Research, which offers a $l,OOO honorarium and plaque. Alex Black retired from 6UY.

With colleagues from the School of Forest Resources, Man beck created a project to develop structural glue-laminated products from undervalued and underutil ized Pennsylvania hardwoods such as red maple. The project has deve loped design standards for glue laminated hardwood highway bridges. Several timber bridges have been installed based on the group’s research and design specifications. “His astounding accomplish ments as a researcher and teacher attest to his distinguished career,” said Roy Young, professor and head of agricultural and biological engineering. “Young engineers could have no better role model of a professional.” Manbeck also is an expert on poultry housing and has advanced the definition of structural loads for grain storage facilities.

His early research focused on the interaction between structural bin walls and stored grains. His national and international research awards include the Henry Geise Structures and Environment Award in 1990 and the Engineered Timber Bridge Award from the National Forest Products Associa tion in 1993. He has won numer ous teaching awards, including Penn State’s George W. Atherton Excellence in Teaching Award in 1991. Manbeck was named distin guished professor of agricultural engineering in 1996. He started his academic career as an assistant professor of agricultural engineer ing at the University of Georgia in 1970. From 1975 to 1977, he was an associate professor and exten sion agricultural engineer at The Ohio State University. He returned to the University of Georgia in 1977 and came to Penn State as a full professor in 1980. He served as interim director of the Housing Research Center in 1995. He earned his bachelors and master’s degrees in agricultural engineering from Penn State in 1963 and 1965, respectively. He earned his doctorate in agricultural engineering from Oklahoma State University in 1970. 717-264-3833 '* t r
