The IET is calling on engineers to nominate their colleagues and contemporaries for exceptional work, in research and development or through leadership of an enterprise or specific project, from those at the start of their careers, through to highly established professionals worldwide.
Winners of these awards will receive a prestigious medal presented at the IET Achievement awards ceremony in London on Wednesday 18 November 2015 and some winners will also receive prizes of up to £500.
William Webb, IET president said: "As a world-leading professional body for engineers and technicians, we're always excited to hear about new developments and discoveries in our sector. To counter the risk of their great work going unnoticed, these awards put the spotlight on exceptional individuals who are contributing to the advancement of engineering and technology."
Up to six IET achievement medals are also on offer for individuals who have shown sustained excellence in their field. For those who made major and significant contributions, there are four IET Prestige Medals available, including the Faraday Medal, Mountbatten Medal, Mensforth Manufacturing Gold Medal and the J J Thomson Medal for Electronics.
