Engineering Mathematics Group

The Engineering Mathematics Group (EMG) was established in 1992 to foster and promote mathematics within the field of engineering. A history of the Engineering Mathematics Group can be found here. The group's constitution can be found here.

The biennial Engineering Mathematics and Applications Conference (EMAC) is typically held in odd years and provides a forum for researchers interested in the development and use of mathematical methods in engineering and applied mathematics. It aims to foster interactions between mathematicians and engineers, both from academia and industry. A long-running feature of EMAC is the inclusion of special sessions on engineering/mathematics education focusing on the needs of both engineering and applied mathematics undergraduates.

Engineering Mathematics Group award for Teaching Excellence

In 2021, EMG will present the inaugural Engineering Mathematics Group award for Teaching Excellence. The award recognises excellence and innovation in the teaching of engineering mathematics and statistics in higher education and will be presented at the EMAC conference in 2021. Subsequent awards will be presented on a biennial basis.
