The Regius Professorship of Engineering is
a professorship at the University of Cambridge.
Founded in 1875 as a chair in "Mechanism and
Applied Mechanics", it was renamed to "Mechanical
Sciences" in 1934, and to "Engineering" in
1966. The chair was bestowed the honorary
title of Regius Professorship by Queen Elizabeth
II in 2011, to mark the end of the Duke of
Edinburgh's 34-year tenure as Chancellor of
the University.
