AWE Professor elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering

Professor Andrew Randewich, AWE’s Executive Director of Science and Chief Technical Officer, has joined the prestigious ranks of the Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Prof. Randewich is one of 71 new Fellows elected at the Academy’s AGM on 17 September, all leading lights in their fields of engineering and technology. He will be formally admitted to the Academy at a special ceremony in London on 27 November. The Academy’s Fellowship all add their considerable abilities in support of its overarching goal to harness the power of engineering to create a sustainable society and inclusive economy.

Each has made exceptional contributions to their own sector, pioneering new innovations, leading progress in business or academia, providing high level advice to government, or promoting wider understanding of engineering and technology.

Dr John Lazar CBE FREng, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, said:

“Our new Fellows represent some of the most talented people in the world of engineering and are taken from the ranks of those who are aiming to address some of our most critical problems. We are proud to say that many of our newly elected Fellows have come from underrepresented groups in engineering and related sectors and we hope this helps to tackle some of the issues around a lack of diversity within the profession. There is ample evidence that a wider pool of ideas and experiences helps to improve decision-making and develop novel solutions to global challenges.”
