The Cork region is a hub for members based in Cork. It represents all sectors of the industry, including third-level, local authorities, contractors, companies, researchers, and many more.
The Cork region also provides local CPD and networking events for engineers.
Some of the events previously held by the Cork region include:
Engineering capability manager Majella Henchion advises that 'if it doesn’t look likely that you will achieve your goal at the first attempt, adapt and pull back to ensure you can and will get a second chance'.
University College Cork’s civil engineering building is to be named after the first female engineering graduate of the university, Iris Ashley Cummins.
Hydrogen is increasingly seen as an important element of future ‘energy landscape’ and while its production through renewable means offers great promise, it is apparent that such sources may not be sufficient to meet expected demands in the short to medium term. It is important, therefore, to consider how this ‘gap’ may be bridged most responsibly by the efficient use of non-renewable resources, writes UCD's Keelan Glennane.
As the market for novel biopharmaceutical products grow, so does the demand for productive, reliable manufacturing processes which can be rapidly developed at a large scale. Chromatography, a foundational process in pharmaceutical manufacturing has seen increased process efficiency and productivity with the extension from traditional batch to continuous counter-current operation, writes Niamh O'Connell.
Deploying artificial intelligence successfully in Europe requires an integrated landscape for its adoption, and its development based on Europe’s unique characteristics, write Edward Curry of NUI Galway and Barry O’Sullivan of University College Cork.
The interest in fullerenes lies in their unique energy levels and high electron affinity which makes these molecules promising candidates for biological applications such as carriers for drug and gene therapy, or pharmaceutical applications such as being used as carriers for drug delivery and increasing the acceptance of artificial implants, writes Carl Pichon.
Joining the Cork region means keeping up-to-date with the latest industry developments and emerging trends.
