Visiting Professors' Scheme

Visiting Professors in Principles of Engineering Design

This highly successful Academy initiative was started in 1989 and is now active in 44 UK universities. Admission to the scheme has been by competitive bidding upon an invitation from The Academy.

No further rounds of bidding for this scheme are expected.

The following pages briefly describe the scheme and offer pointers to good practice in the teaching of engineering design at university level, based on the experiences of the universities involved.

• The role of The Academy

• Background to the scheme

• Participating universities

• Review of the scheme’s development

• Good Practice guidelines

• Scheme events

Further Information is available from the scheme manager Ian Bowbrick at the Academy's address.
