The Brian D. Dunfield Educational Service Award is
the highest award in recognition of excellence in the field of cost
engineering education presented by AACE International [AACE]. It is
not limited to AACE members.
The Brian D. Dunfield Educational Service Award publicly recognizes
and honors the educational teaching achievements, over an extended
period of time, by an individual who is a member of the cost
engineering professional community. The recipient must have advanced
the skills and knowledge of cost engineering through teaching,
writing, editing, and/or publishing educational materials used to
train and educate present and future cost professionals.
The award was established and endowed in 1998 by Mr. Dunfield (1928
- 2008), a past AACE President and first chair of the AACE
Education Board. Mr. Dunfield believed in the value of education to
enrich cost engineering knowledge through both university programs
and continuing education.
Memorials received by the Association at the time of Brian’s death,
June 8, 2008, were added to the endowment. The fund will continue to
accept future contributions to enhance the endowment.
The award consists of an honorarium and plaque. The Brian D.
Dunfield Educational Service Award is presented at the AACE Annual
meeting.
