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.
