🏅 Congratulations to the RNLI National Collection of Historic Lifeboats at Chatham Historic Dockyard on receiving an IMechE Engineering Heritage Award.

The award recognises the collection's outstanding contribution to engineering heritage, showcasing more than 200 years of lifesaving innovation and the evolution of lifeboat design and technology.

Unlike most Heritage Awards, which recognise individual artefacts, this award celebrates the entire collection and its role in telling the story of engineering innovation for the public good.

Congratulations to the RNLI and everyone involved in preserving this remarkable piece of engineering history.

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Richard Judge CEng FIMechE as the 141st President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

A Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution, Richard has built a distinguished career across the energy, rail and environmental sectors, helping to tackle some of society’s most complex challenges.

From assessing ageing nuclear reactor cores to developing risk-based asset management strategies for critical infrastructure, his work has spanned some of the most demanding engineering environments.

This evening, Richard delivers his inaugural presidential address, Beyond the Boundaries, exploring engineering’s role in a time of rapid technological change and the innovation needed to shape the future.

We look forward to hearing his vision for the profession.

Celebrating our volunteers ✨

Meet Matthew Prosser CEng, IMechE Railway Division Board Member and incoming Railway Division Chair.

Matthew is Asset Management Director at Angel Trains. As a volunteer, he helps shape Railway Division activities, supports member engagement and promotes knowledge sharing across the sector.

Matthew first got involved with IMechE nearly 20 years ago after attending Railway Division lectures and wanting to help shape the programme. What started with his local Railway Division centre has grown into a long-standing commitment to supporting members and sharing engineering knowledge across the rail industry.

"The great thing about volunteering is the opportunity to meet new people and learn new things. The Railway Division Board includes some of the most knowledgeable and experienced engineers in the industry, and being able to tap into that knowledge is a fantastic privilege."

Looking ahead, Matthew is excited about the future of engineering and the role rail will continue to play in delivering sustainable transport solutions 🚆

Thank you, Matthew, for your dedication to the Railway Division and the wider engineering community.

💥 The Big Bang Fair is back!

From 9–11 June at the NEC Birmingham, we’ll be joining the UK’s biggest celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths to inspire the next generation of engineers.

A huge thank you to our fantastic volunteers and the Midland Regional Committee for leading this year’s activities. Your passion and dedication are helping bring engineering to life for thousands of young people.

As part of , we’re proud to celebrate the volunteers making a real impact across the engineering community.

Here are some photos from last year’s brilliant crew of volunteers who helped make the event such a success💫

Kicking off Volunteers Week by saying a huge thank you to all our IMechE volunteers 👏

Our volunteers play a vital role in strengthening the Institution, from mentoring to leading committees, judging competitions and supporting events.

Jo Passingham, Interim Chief Executive at IMechE, said:

"Your contribution helps make the Institution more connected, inclusive and forward-looking for engineers at every stage of their careers. Quite simply, we could not do what we do without you."

With more than 5000 volunteers worldwide, including our boards, committees, STEM Ambassadors, student chapters and Young Member Panels, our volunteers are making a difference across the engineering profession every day.

Thank you to Matt Garside CEng FIMechE MIET for his leadership and dedication as the 140th President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Engineering is one of the UK’s most trusted professions, and throughout his presidency Matt has highlighted the responsibility and opportunity that comes with that trust.

His presidency celebrated the global engineering community, from meeting members across Oceania to marking 200 years of rail during the Stockton and Darlington Railway bicentenary.

Thank you, Matt, for your commitment to IMechE and the engineering profession.
