Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)

🏅 A fantastic day celebrating sports engineering at Sheffield Hallam University! Yesterday’s Sports Engineering Seminar brought together industry and academia to showcase cutting-edge research, real-world applications, and career insights in the field. From inspiring talks to hands-on exhibitions, campus tours, and even a game of Pickleball or Badminton during breaks. It was a brilliant reminder of the impact sports engineering has on society. Thanks to the Sports Engineering Research Group and the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC).  Great to see so many passionate engineers engaging and inspiring the next generation👏 #SportsEngineering #Innovation #IMechE

🚆 2025 is the IMechE Year of Rail, celebrating 200 years of railway engineering. Each month, we’re highlighting a past IMechE President with a connection to railway history. This March, meet Frederick Joseph Bramwell—a pioneer of his time. Born in 1818, Bramwell began his apprenticeship in 1834 and later became the 11th President of IMechE in 1874. A strong advocate for technical education, he was highly respected across engineering and scientific communities. Discover more about his contributions in our latest blog—find the link in our bio. Who from railway history has inspired you? Let us know in the comments. #IMechEYearOfRail #Rail200 #RailwayHistory #StocktonAndDarlington ⁠ ⁠

Last week, we welcomed Andy Wiltshire to Birdcage Walk as Andy received his Chartered Engineer certificate—presented by his own father, Bruce Wiltshire📜 Bruce, a passionate engineer and educator, was awarded his 50-year IMechE membership milestone in 2023, marking a lifetime dedicated to the profession. Andy shared how special this moment was: "Becoming a Chartered Engineer was one of my Father's proudest achievements, and following in his footsteps made the milestone even more meaningful for me. His return to teaching A-level physics last year aged 76 served as inspiration to all his family as well as students” Engineering is full of stories like this, where knowledge and passion are passed from one generation to the next💫 Who has shaped your journey in engineering? We’d love to hear your story. 🔗 #IMechE #EngineeringCommunity
