The Academic society is a special interest group for engineers who lecture or conduct research in third-level institutions or graduate students who aspire to careers in academia.
Its mission is to promote the advancement of academic standards in engineering and facilitate and organise activities for key academic groups. It aims to develop and disseminate a body of knowledge for engineers working within the academic community which will also serve those engineering professionals with an interest in academic topics. Members can benefit from: Networking with colleagues Networking with industry experts Keeping up to date with the latest events, technical presentations and access to research and support material. Attending events, courses, site visits and customised seminars to advance their continuous professional development.
High-speed experiments can help identify lightweight, protective 'metamaterials' for spacecraft, vehicles, helmets, or other objects.
The ambient light sensors responsible for smart devices’ brightness adjustments can capture images of touch interactions like swiping and tapping for hackers.
The advanced fabrication tools will enable the next generation of microelectronics and microsystems while bridging the gap from the lab to commercialisation.
Exploiting the symmetry within datasets, MIT researchers show, can decrease the amount of data needed for training neural networks.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers thinks health AI could benefit from some of the aviation industry’s long history of hard-won lessons that have created one of the safest activities today.
The system could allow sensors to operate in remote settings, without batteries.
Keep up-to-date with the latest news.
We support your professional development and help you to expand your career at home and abroad.
Our committees arrange and host technical presentations, discussions, debate and social events in our regions and represent the group at liaison committee.
