Abstract

Reference to the Kernot name in engineering brings to mind activities of William Charles Kernot the first Professor of Engineering at Melbourne University, and the Kernot Memorial Medal established by the Institution of Engineers Australia in recognition of his contribution to the profession in Australia. Not so well remembered are his brothers and his nephew, but they were also engineers who were significant members of the profession in Victoria.

The speaker, Jim Ferguson, is a mechanical engineer, former Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Gordon Institute of Technology, Geelong (now part of Deakin University) and a former Chairman of the Engineering Heritage Branch. His talk will review the background, education and influence of this remarkable family group of engineers who made such a significant contribution to the development of this State.
