The talk will cover the use of cordite, the building of the factory and of Eastriggs and Gretna, the role of women in the production process and the government response to perceived excessive drinking by workers at the factory.

In this talk, Fiona Coomer, Research & Development Manager at Echion, will explain the research and development process, and the challenges of bringing a new battery material to market.

Quantum physics describes the behaviour of small particles such as atoms or photons and their behaviour is very different from the macroscopic world with which we are familiar.

The presentation will include descriptions of the process engineering enhancements which have been implemented in order to ensure tighter discharge quality into the River Kent. Also the engineering challenges associated with the repair of the outfall to the River Kent, which was damaged during Storm Desmond, will be included.

As the UK investment drives a new phase of the National Quantum Technologies Programme, there will be significant opportunities for multi-disciplinary work and the contribution that we as engineers can make will be vital to the commercialisation of quantum technologies and computing across all sectors.

Join us at the University of Bristol to hear from a fascinating panel of experts as we discuss the learnings, challenges and opportunities that we are presented with when developing solutions for a sustainable future.

In this presentation, Subu and Joe will explore the design considerations behind a data acquisition and telematics system. They will discuss the latest developments in data acquisition systems and share insights from their Knowledge Transfer Partnership project, which focused on designing a DAQ system that adheres to compliance standards for geotechnical site investigation and testing.

This presentation will give an overview of the historical milestones to date, motivations, technologies, challenges and applications for long range power beaming.

Motoring petrol stations have been around for over 100 years and during that time have undergone huge technical and distribution changes that many motorists may be unaware of.

The spectacular success of AI has recently splashed across the news, social media, and look set to pervade everyday life for many. Research journals and conferences are replete with machine learning that involve ever greater varieties of neural architectures. Machines can synthesize speech, language, pictures to the point where serious ethical - even legal - issues arise. It is all very impressive, and on occasion perhaps unsettling. And yet AI struggles with art in terms of analysis such as recognition, and synthesis such as generating images. This talk highlights these limits, explains why they are significant for the development of AI, and suggests possible ways forward.

This talk will explain how intelligent robotic systems--working alongside humans--can offer viable and trustworthy approaches to these challenges, illustrated through examples of current projects underway at the Lincoln Institute for Agri-food Technology.

Delve into the intersection of computer vision and sports video analysis. We'll explore how aligning software capabilities with user requirements drives success. We'll showcase how Computer Vision enhances tactical video analysis, ultimately empowering teams to gain a competitive edge in their respective sports.

Electrification of aviation will be central to achieve ambitious environmental targets for the reduction of carbon emission, fuel burn and noise. This presentation will focus on the system design, control, and fault protection for cryogenic and superconducting DC distribution networks. The lecture itself will be between 40 minutes and 1 hour with time for questions and discussion at the end. Usually our lectures are finished by 8:30pm.

Dr Ian Goodall will present the story of the invention of DNA fingerprinting.

Focus on awareness of technologies that are not yet fully developed but could have a significant impact when they are.

The Electricity at Work Regulations call out a number of hazards that could cause death or personal injury when working around electricity.

This is the story of the development of a tractor which would set the Guinness World Record for speed over a distance of 1 Kilometre

This webinar will showcase engineering research at Edinburgh University.

In this talk, a number of the UK’s leading quantum companies will describe their journey to turn science experiment into saleable product.

Vaccines have been instrumental in improving life expectancy throughout the world. Have you ever thought how vaccines are manufactured at large scale in an affordable way? If you would like to know more about how this is done join us for this talk.

In this presentation, Chong Li, Professor of Microwave Engineering from the University of Glasgow, will provide insights into key developments in the relatively brief history of microwave engineering. Furthermore, he will share his visionary perspectives on the imminent future of this dynamic field.

This talk will provide a brief history of railway signalling to understand how and why we signal trains. It will offer an overview of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) and how the European Train Control System (ETCS) makes the world's railways safer and more reliable.

Join us for an evening to help further your career. The event will cover in detail the requirements for professional registration.

This talk will cover some of the exciting innovations developed at Ocado Technology, as well as ongoing robotics research projects that are part of the collaborative efforts funded by Horizon Europe programme.

Prior to the talk there will be an opportunity to visit the European Regional Development Fund supported Centre of Technology & Innovation Excellence.

The webinar seeks to demystify the intricacies of AI, rendering the topic accessible to engineers in manufacturing at all career stages. ai event listing

Durham University Solar Car is a student run and led team, who design and build cutting-edge solar powered vehicles which they race in international events against other world-leading solar teams.

Rechargeable batteries are promising clean energy technologies which can: serve as storage sources at local and grid-scale for wide deployment of a variety of renewable energy technologies, provide power sources for electric and hybrid vehicles for low-carbon or zero-carbon emission transportation systems, and provide power sources for various portable and wearable electronic devices.

Technological developments have underpinned the increase in accuracy of weather forecasts. In particular, from the mid-1960s the use of increasingly sophisticated numerical models coupled with an enhanced availability of observations have led to modern five-day forecasts being as accurate as one-day forecasts 50 years ago. These developments will be discussed along with benefits of having accurate weather forecasts.
