2001 Engineering Field Notes
Article Award Nominations
A special thanks goes to each of our authors and readers for making Engineering Field Notes (EFN) 2001 a valuable resource. Authors highlighted
innovative engineering work on trails, bridges, fleets, and toilets; encouraged young students to explore the world of engineering; and reported on
improved engineering tools, such as the Road Analysis Policy. Through EFN,
authors can and do share their knowledge, experiences, and insight as U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service engineers at all levels and
from all regions.
Please take this opportunity to select the top three articles for 2001. Remember, this is a one-person, one-vote system. Your vote counts! Tell us
which articles you found the most informative, beneficial, and interesting;
which articles helped your unit save money; and which articles helped you
develop more effective ways of getting your work accomplished.
Please complete the nomination form by rating the articles from 1 (best) to 3
(third best). Note whether you believe an article has helped or will help the
USDA Forest Service save money or resources. To send the form, cut along
