Engineering programs often feature units that contain a semester-long project, in which students are required to complete an extended piece of work throughout the full duration of the semester. The traditional model of assessment for such units is for students to present a series of demonstrations (...)

A more sustainable energy future is within our reach but the costs of deployment of energy supply technologies in general is a key barrier for rapid deployment, preventing market penetration and uptake. An analysis in terms of primary market parameters such as demand, cost functions and profit (...)

The photography competition is an initiative which aims to encourage photographers (both professional and amateur) to submit work that explores the place and role that engineers can play in people's lives.

The competition is looking for an image that represents the idea of 'Engineering (...)
