Fellowships were awarded to 16 people who have made significant contributions to the engineering profession in Ireland, including a number of leading Irish broadcasters, entrepreneurs and academics.
The titles were presented by the president of the organisation, Dr Edmond Harty, who said the honour was recognition of individuals’ contribution and ability in shaping, influencing and inspiring engineers and the future of the engineering industry.
“All engineers conferred with professional titles stand as exemplars of our profession and will act as industry leaders at a time when Ireland needs engineers more than ever,” Dr Harty stated.
