The National Committee for Mechanical and Engineering Sciences aims to foster Engineering Science and Mechanics in Australia, to link the Academy to scientists and relevant scientific societies in this area, and to serve as a link between Australian and overseas scientists, for example through the International Union for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Sciences.
The National Committee plays an active role in the promotion of early career researchers through the establishment and ongoing advancement of the John Booker Medal in Engineering Science.
