Last year the Institution of Mechanical Engineers turned 175, but all those years later, why is it still here? Was the purpose in 1847 the same as it is now? Behind the scenes at the IMechE, this is just what your council volunteers have been debating and have formed a dedicated task force to review. We hope you can join us for a first look and debate around the purpose, which Mark and Adam will take directly to the local committee and council.
