M. Inst. C.E., BY, The Institution of Civil Engineers, SESSION 1895-6.

His academic journey began at the Edinburgh Academy and University before continuing at Cambridge University. Following an apprenticeship at the London & North Western Railway in Crewe, he ascended to the role of assistant to the works manager. He then transitioned to various positions, including mechanical assistant superintendent at R.G.P.F. in Waltham Abbey, resident engineer at Nettlefold's Steelworks in Newport, Monmouthshire, and assistant works manager at Siemens Brothers, where he eventually became works manager and head of the railway department in Stafford, serving for a decade. In 1908, he embarked on a new chapter as he assumed the inaugural chair of Engineering Science at Oxford University. Professor Jenkin's adept management skills were instrumental in navigating the challenges of the early years, leading to the approval of the school buildings' construction, which concluded in 1910. His tenure at Oxford ended in 1929 when he chose to dedicate his efforts to vibrational fatigue research. During the First World War, Professor Jenkin played a pivotal role as the head of the branch overseeing aircraft materials, attaining the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. His endeavor to preserve extensive experimental data resulted in the publication of the comprehensive "Report on the Materials of Construction in Aircraft and Aircraft Engines" by H.M. Stationery Office in 1920. Another notable work authored by him was "Earth Pressure Tables," published by H.M. Stationery Office in 1934. In recognition of his contributions, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (C.B.E.) in 1919. Professor Jenkin's affiliation with The Institution spanned several decades. He was honored as a Miller Scholar during his student years. Elected as an Associate Member in February 1891, he later became a full Member in January 1912. Throughout his association, he presented numerous papers, earning accolades including the Telford Gold Medal, a Telford Premium, and a Watt Medal.
