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.
Innovative AI system melds simulations and physical testing to forge materials with new-found durability and flexibility for diverse engineering uses.
The team used machine learning to analyse satellite and roadside images of areas where small farms predominate and agricultural data are sparse.
With batteries based on iron and air, Form Energy leverages research to incorporate renewables into the grid.
Applying a small voltage to a catalyst can increase the rates of reactions used in petrochemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and many other processes.
Engineers have developed a tag that can reveal with near-perfect accuracy whether an item is real or fake – the key is in the glue on the back of the tag.
