Honorary Fellowship

Mark Curtiz
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?

    "During the Q&A with past IET Young Woman Engineer of the Year, Yewande Akinola, will.i.am said: “Engineering is the coolest thing in the world, but it’s also the world’s best kept secret.  If you want to solve the world’s problems, this is the way you go about it. That’s some superhero stuff right there. The real superheroes are scientists and engineers.”



     



    will.i.am was awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the IET in 2017 alongside Professor Polina Bayvel, Dr Dolores Byrne and Dr Hermann Hauser. During his visit to Savoy Place will.i.am took the opportunity to sign his name in the IET’s ‘Roll of Honorary Fellows and Faraday Medallists’ book. The honour dates back to 1873 and is awarded to esteemed scientists, technicians and engineers, recognised by the IET as having made a significant contribution to the advancement of engineering and technology innovation across the world.



     



    Nigel Fine, Chief Executive of the IET, said: “will.i.am is an enthusiastic user of technologies in both his professional and personal life, fusing the worlds of technology, culture, fashion, and artificial intelligence across his work and is an incredible STEM role model to young people."
