Abstract
Dating back to 1946, Sir Winston Churchill gave his name to an award recognising the significant engineering contributions
of individuals during World War II, becoming the Society of Engineers’ most prestigious award. In 2011, the award was
reinstated with the support of seven Professional Engineering Institutions (PEIs). Led by the Institution of Engineering
and Technology (IET), the medal now recognises achievement in engineering and technical advancement in support of the
development and use of capability to support military operations/readiness.
