Visiting Professors' Scheme

Visiting Professors in Integrated System Design

The Academy’s Vision for the Future

This initiative was set-up with the intention of supporting universities devise their own strategies for making students more system-aware. Four years on, a great deal of the material generated by the Visiting Professors appointed and selected case studies from industry were used as the basis for the highly acclaimed publication ‘Creating Systems that Work’, which has become the definitive systems guide for UK undergraduate engineers and beyond.

This highly successful and sought after scheme has just completed its sixth cycle of appointments with Visiting Professors being confirmed at the Universities of Cranfield, Kent and York. This scheme now boasts 30 Visiting Professors operating at 24 universities in the UK.
