The Department of Mechanical Engineering mourns the passing of Professor Emeritus Stanley Hutton on March 13, 2022. After completing his doctoral degree at UBC, and teaching at the University of Adelaide, Australia, he returned to UBC in 1978 to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering as a faculty member. He was an instructor and researcher here for twenty-four years, where he worked to improve our understanding of machine vibration and stability. After his retirement, he was an active contributor to department research, collaborating with other faculty members. He was a beloved colleague and teacher, and will be missed dearly.
UBC honours Dr. Hutton’s memory by lowering the BC, Musqueam and UBC flags at the North Plaza of the Life Building on Thursday, March 31st 2022. His celebration of life will be held on April 3, 2022, at the Vancouver Rowing Club at 1:30 PM. Donations in his memory can be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC.
