Anthony Yen has donated a set of precision tools to the Case School of Engineering and has given 10 Chinese-to-English engineering dictionaries to CWRU's Kelvin Smith Library. Yen is president of Yen Enterprises in Cleveland and a friend of the University.
Two of the dictionaries are comprehensive, and each of the others covers particular engineering specialties -- chemistry and chemical engineering, civil engineering, coking and carbon technology, computers and electrical engineering, etymology, machine technology, and metallurgy. The dictionaries are available in the reference department at the Kelvin Smith Library.
The precision tools will be used in the Reinberger Advanced Manufacturing Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
"These days we have such a global economy. I think these could be very useful to some of Chinese students in engineering," said Susie Hanson, director of the special collections section in Kelvin Smith Library.
Provost James Wagner hosted a luncheon in the Damper Room of the Library to receive the donation and thank Yen. Also attending were Joanne Eustis, director of the University Library, and faculty and staff members from chemical engineering, civil engineering, and the asian studies program.
In 1998, Yen donated The Great Book of Chinese Lithography to the special collections area in Kelvin Smith Library. He also provided the library with a Far East Chinese-English Dictionary for the reference section.
