Sustained Achievement Award
The Academy's Sustained
Achievement Award (formally Lifetime Achievement
Award) was first presented in 2005, and
will be awarded to an engineer normally resident in
the UK whose achievements have had a profound impact
upon their engineering discipline. This award
applies particularly to those engineers who have not
been recognized earlier in their careers for reasons
such as latency in the impact of their work or late
disclosure due to national or commercial secrecy.
