Summary

The A. G. M. Michell Medal has been awarded annually since 1978 by the College of Mechanical Engineers of the Institution of Engineers Australia, in recognition of outstanding innovation, eminence or leadership relating to the science or practice of mechanical engineering.

The award, in the form of a Bronze Medal and accompanying Certificate, is presented at a major Engineers Australia Mechanical College event. The recipient is invited to give an oration, later published as a paper in the Australian Journal of Mechanical Engineering.

The award perpetuates the memory of Anthony George Maldon Michell (1870-1959), an outstanding innovative Australian mechanical engineer.
