Karen Ann Hilsum Burt (née Hilsum) CPhys MInstP (26 November 1954 - 20 June 1997) was a British engineer and campaigner for the recruitment and retention of women in engineering.
Early life and education [ edit ]
Burt attended Hillside School, Malvern and Worcester Girl's Grammar School .[1] She studied at Newnham College, Cambridge [2] and completed a PhD in electron microscopy at the University of Reading .[2]
Burt joined British Aerospace as a project engineer for scientific satellites,[3] and was eventually promoted to senior systems engineer.[2] Subsequently, she developed an interest in management, becoming a Business Acquisition Manager.[3]
Burt left British Aerospace and established her own consultancy.[3] In addition, she helped University College London establish the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation Systems.[2] [4] She contributed to the Women's Engineering Society , Institute of Physics and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers .[5] In 1983 and 1984 Burt presented a Faraday Lecture, Let's Build A Satellite, on behalf of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and British Aerospace .[6]
She was appointed to the London Branch Committee of the Women's Engineering Society in 1987.[7] She was a campaigner for career breaks and gave advice to members of the Women's Engineering Society in how to manage returning to work.[8] Burt was appointed to the Women's Engineering Society Council in 1991.[8] She presented at the 1991 International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists.[6] Having just accepted a faculty position at University College London , Burt suffered a fatal stroke in June 1997.[2] [9] aged only 42.[10]
Since 1999, the Women's Engineering Society have celebrated Karen Burt with a memorial award for newly chartered women in engineering, applied science or information technology.[2] [11] Each year the Women's Engineering Society requests one nomination from each participating Professional Engineering Institution, and from these a winner is chosen. The award recognises significant potential in engineering [2] [12] and it was originally set up to encourage a greater number of women to aim for, and to celebrate, the achievement of Chartered Engineer status.[3] Winners receive £1,000, at the bequest of her father, Cyril Hilsum .[5]
