Emmett E. Day
Emmett E. Day received a B. A. Degree from East Texas State Teacher's College, now known as Texas A & M University, Commerce. After teaching a few years in San Antonio, Texas, he entered Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received B. S. and M.S. Degrees in Mechanical Engineering. While a graduate student, he worked with Dr. W.M. Murray as a teaching assistant in developing the laboratory exercises for the new courses of experimental stress analysis being taught at M.I.T. and which were followed by the formation of the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis.
Emmett is Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington after four decades of teaching engineering. He received the Pi Tau Sigma Gold Medal Award , the M. M. Frocht Award, the Teetor Award, and is a Life Fellow of SEM and ASME. He was President of SEM in 1975 and has been a contributor and served in many capacities of SEM since its organization and is still active in the Society.
During Emmett's teaching years he interested many young students in choosing experimental stress analysis as a career and several of whom became Presidents of SEM.
