Suresh inducted into
Institute of Medicine
In October, Carnegie Mellon
University President Subra Suresh,
FASM, was inducted into the Institute
of Medicine (IOM), making him the only
university president to be elected to
all three national academies—IOM, the National Academy
of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering.
Suresh is one of only 16 living Americans to be elected
to all three national academies, and the first CMU
faculty member to hold membership in all three. Before
becoming president of CMU in 2013, he served as director
of the National Science Foundation.

a B.S. in physical metallurgy in 1954. Schadler earned a Ph.D.
in metallurgical engineering from Purdue University in 1957
and received their Distinguished Engineering Alumnus Award
in 1992. Upon graduation, Schadler moved to Schenectady,
N.Y., and worked at the General Electric Corporate Research
and Development Center. He held many positions there and

Member, of Pittsburgh, passed away on
December 7, 2014, one day after being
honored as a Distinguished Eagle Scout. In
October, he delivered a technical paper at
MS&T at the age of 102. He earned both his
B.S. and M.S. in metallurgical engineering from Columbia
University in 1932 and 1933, and his Ph.D. in metallurgical
engineering from the University of Minnesota in 1936. He
joined ASM in 1934. Queneau worked for US Steel until 1938,
returned to Columbia as an assistant professor, volunteered
for war service in 1939, and was called for active duty
in 1942. He developed steel grades for oxygen cylinders
for pilots flying at high altitudes and received the Navy
Commendation Medal. After the war, he rejoined US Steel
and retired in 1977. Queneau received the Edgar C. Bain
Award in 1977 from the Pittsburgh Chapter.

engineer with General Motors at the Fisher Body Division
in Michigan and worked in heat treating, failure analysis,
and corrosion analysis with a focus on the formability of
body steels. He then worked at Continental Screw Co. in
New Bedford, Mass., and the Reed-Rico Rolled Thread
Die Co. in Holden, on fastener design and developing
thread-rolling dies. Schneider was a member of the Detroit
