The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), founded in 1847 and received a Royal Charter in 1930, is an independent professional engineering institution based in London. According to their website, their focus lies on promoting sustainable energy use, economic growth, safe and efficient transport systems, supporting product innovation, and inspiring, preparing and supporting tomorrow’s engineers.[1]
