Honorary Fellowship

That William Adams (a.k.a Will.i.am) was made an Honorary Fellow for his outstanding contributions to engineering is fantastic - it also intrigued me as to the process involved. Does anyone know?

And I also wondered why the process is not invoked more often to reflect the contribution of the many noteworthy individuals - for example people like Elon Musk whose contributions to engineering and technology are very visible and exceptionally impressive. Is there a nominations process?

  • I'm helping at a couple of careers evenings later this month. We need to attract the teenagers of Midlothian to our stand so we can engage with them and discuss STEM career options. At these events, the competition from other career paths is intense and demands a creative approach on our part. Can the IET provide any eye-catching publicity material connected with this award? Maybe a life-size poster of Mr .Am collecting his award, or some quotations from him that we are permitted to reprint? Do we have license to play his music on the stand, for the purpose of STEM promotion?
