Also 1966, the university established three further permanent Professorships of Engineering.
However, in 2001 one of these 1966 chairs was suppressed in order to fund the establishment of the Prince Philip Professorship of Technology to mark the 80th birthday of the university's then-Chancellor.
In 2011, another of the 1966 chairs was renamed the Sir Kirby Laing Professorship of Civil Engineering.
In 1974, the university established another Professorship of Engineering on a permanent basis, replacing a single-tenure professorship vacated in the same year.
The university has also established Professorships of Engineering limited to a single tenure (i.e. personal chairs) for various specific individuals.
