The aim of the webinars is to give precedence to the latest trends developing in the market, as well as the ways in which they can be utilised for engineering projects. Any internet search of Emerging Trends in Engineering will be dominated by the impact digitalisation is having on how we live and work. Such digital trends include Data Analytics, Robotics, Automation, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence.

The Cycle Design Manual (CDM) has been prepared by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and overseen by the Department of Transport. The CDM includes a number of new types of infrastructure such as protected junctions, Dutch style cycle-friendly roundabouts, and parallel crossings which are commonly used in other countries, and will now become an option for cycle infrastructure in Ireland.

We currently have a SEC workforce well in excess of 20,000 resources consisting of designers, construction managers, engineers and specialist providers that we are at risk of losing unless we develop a strategy for ongoing development, promotion and utilisation of these companies. We have become some of the most qualified Semiconductor Builders in Europe and we are in danger of losing this position as the current building cycle comes to a conclusion. 

Engineers Ireland believes that we should not give up this position and we should instead promote this to the European Semiconductor clients and maintain our capability in this critical area. Our aspiration is to position Ireland as a global supplier of Semiconductor Construction and Engineer specialists.

In more recent years the importance of DMURS has been highlighted within many Government polices related to planning, climate change, place making, sustainable mobility and health. The on-set of the Covid 19 pandemic also gave us time to reflect on the quality of the public realm and how we move about in our cities, towns and villages. Therefore it is timely to undertake a series of workshops highlighting the recent Government policy context, update to DMURS and a range of exemplary projects under taken by practitioners, local authorities and government agencies.   

The free webinars were delivered in collaboration with the RIAI and IPI. the urban roads and streets design series will be relevant to engineers, architects, planners, local authority staff and all those with an interest in DMURS.
