The Professorships of Engineering are several established and personal professorships at the University of Cambridge. The senior professorship in the university's Department of Engineering was founded in 1875 as the Professorship of Mechanism and Applied Mechanics, renamed to the Professorship of Mechanical Sciences in 1934, and then to Professorship of Engineering in 1966. The university has also established Professorships of Engineering limited to a single tenure (i.e. personal chairs) for various specific individuals.

  • The Professorships of Engineering are several established and personal professorships at the University of Cambridge. The senior professorship in the university's Department of Engineering was founded in 1875 as the Professorship of Mechanism and Applied Mechanics, renamed to the Professorship of Mechanical Sciences in 1934, and then to Professorship of Engineering in 1966. Also 1966, the university established three further permanent Professorships of Engineering. However, in 2001 one of these 1966 chairs was suppressed in order to fund the establishment of the Prince Philip Professorship of Technology to mark the 80th birthday of the university's then-Chancellor. In 2011, another of the 1966 chairs was renamed the Sir Kirby Laing Professorship of Civil Engineering. In 1974, the university established another Professorship of Engineering on a permanent basis, replacing a single-tenure professorship vacated in the same year. The 1974 professorship was itself replaced by a professorship established in 2012, with the additional creation intended to afford a brief period of overlap between the 1974 and 2012 professors. The university has also established Professorships of Engineering limited to a single tenure (i.e. personal chairs) for various specific individuals. (en)
