Engineering Professors' Council
The Engineering Professors' Council is a British university association that represents university staff in UK engineering facilities, for discussing and coordinating course content and direction. History
The Engineering Professors' Conference was set up in the early 1950s to allow an annual conference, held in London, where Engineering academic staff could meet. It was set up by Edmund Giffen (1 January 1902 - 2 July 1963), a Northern Irish professor of mechanical engineering from Gilford, County Down, and director of research from 1940 to 1945 for the Institution of Automobile Engineers, notably on diesel engines, which soon after became the Automotive branch of the IMechE. The organisation was formed in January 1994 by the merger of the Engineering Professors' Conference and the Committee for Engineering in Polytechnics. Function
It has worked with the Office for Students (OfS) and with the UK government (the Science and Technology Select Committee) on funding for engineering research at UK universities. EPC Annual Congress
