Eugene S. Ferguson

Eugene S. Ferguson (1916-2004) engineer and historian of technology.

After holding a number of engineering positions in manufacturing he moved into engineering education and then the history of technology. In 1977 his frequently cited paper on visual reasoning [Ferguson, Eugene S. 1977. The Minds Eye: Non-Verbal Thought in Technology. "Science" 197 (4306):827-836.] appeared in the Journal "Science". Ferguson later expanded its themes into a book [Ferguson, Eugene S. 1992. "Engineering and the mind's eye". Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press.] :Engineering and the mind's eye.

Ferguson was a founding member of the [http://shot.press.jhu.edu/ Society for the History of Technology] and its eleventh president (1977–78). The Society recognised Ferguson's contribution by creating the [http://shot.press.jhu.edu/Awards/ferguson.htm The Eugene S. Ferguson Prize for Outstanding Reference Work] .
