Putting the Space into Aerospace
IMechE has now officially added space to its repertoire. We would like to develop activities relevant to members who are involved in yet another fascinating sphere of engineering. If you are interested why not update your profile? This will help give the Division an idea of the potential audience; if you would like to recommend any ideas, please contact Lisa Meenan. A list of activities organised by the IET's Satellite Systems and Applications Network can be viewed in the list of future supported events.
What's been going on?
Riti Singh, Professor Emeritus Gas Turbine Engineering, Cranfield University and Past Chairman of the Aerospace Division gave his lecture 'Post Nubes Lux: Aerospace Propulsion'. It is available to view online along with the results of the questionnaire and the paper from Riti's 2001 lecture.
Future Events
The Aerospace Division's Technical Activity Committees have organised a programme of events for this year. Additional to these IMechE also co-sponsors events prepared by the other Aerospace Partners as well as other charitable organisations.
Student Seminars
The Division holds free, half-day events aimed at those entering into a career in aerospace engineering who are studying at university or are enrolled in MPDS.
Aerospace Centres
The Division established its first Regional Committee (the Western Aerospace Centre) in Bristol in October 2000 and was proud to launch its second (IMechE Aerospace North West) in May 2004.
Whittle Reactionaries Prize
This prize is open to members and non-members who have been qualified as engineers for less than ten years. The winner will receive prize money of up to £1500 and a specially commissioned, engraved bronze medal.
Schools Aerospace Challenge
The Schools Aerospace Challenge is an event open to students between the ages of 16 and 18. The name of this year's winning team can be discovered by visiting the website.
Aerospace Partnership
The Aerospace Partnership between the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institute of Engineering and Technology and the Royal Aeronautical Society was established in 1997. Members of each body are cross-represented on each Board and staff meet biennially to decide which events should be co-sponsored.
