Here are your nominees for the 2010 class of the PD&D Design Engineer Hall of Fame. Voting will open June 1, 2010 and the winners will be announced the week of September 28, 2010 at Design & Manufacturing Midwest at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.

Welcome one and all as we introduce the 2010 class of the PD&D Design Engineer Hall of Fame. After tens of thousands of tallied votes from you, the PD&D reader, we have come up with quite a class in our sophomore year.

The man who birthed mass production and competitive wages. An engineer’s engineer who had the ability to find innovative solutions that most engineers would never envision. A man who has single-handedly helped prevent the worldwide spread of infectious disease with his work in hypodermic devices. A professor/mind-molder that also had a hand in revolutionizing the agricultural industry. And last, but certainly not least, a man whose work in medical device development has saved thousands of lives.

Product Design & Development is proud to announce the Design Engineer Hall of Fame’s 2010 class:

  • Henry Ford
  • Paul R. Beswick
  • Richard J. Caizza
  • Dr. Wesley Buchele
  • Karl R. Leinsing 

A special thanks to PD&D’s resident artistic guru and illustrator, Mr. Larry Corby for his work on the inductees’ caricatures. Without Larry, the Hall of Fame would be an impossible endeavor. Additional thanks to our sponsors for supporting the PD&D Hall of Fame.
