Mr Howison said: "To be elected to such an important and prestigious body is a personal honour. It is also recognition of the size, scope and complexity of the company's capabilities and I am incredibly proud to be representing BAE Systems in the academy."
Academy president, Lord Browne of Madingley, said: "Our new fellows are among the very best engineers working in the UK today.
