4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) is the revolution of convergence in cyber and physical realms in the form of data and analytics from the industrial internet of things (IoT), automation, mobility and the cloud. This affects all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, including construction and project management. With construction project complexity, 4IR increases productivity and flexibility in the process of construction and project management practices. This talk thus aims at appraising construction and project management practices worldwide towards the 4IR, where continuous construction industry performance improvement could be made efficiently and effectively by investigating the 4IR impact to the society as a whole.

Having spent three years as the IET Aerospace Technical Professional Network (TPN) Vice-Chairman I am delighted to finally step into the shoes so ably filled by David Lindley since 2016. I should, at this point, take the opportunity to thank him for all his efforts and the support he has provided to the IET Aerospace Community over the last 3 years and also to welcome his continued involvement as Deputy Chairman, pending the identification of my own eventual successor.Having harboured a life-long passion for all aspects of aerospace, it was a great honour to be given the opportunity to become Chairman of the IET Aerospace TPN and to represent the Aerospace Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) and the IET’s wider aerospace community. Strategically, I will be aiming to: • Reach out to more IET members…
BT recently hosted a technical tour of their BT Madley Communications Centre for the IET Satellite Technical Professional Network (TPN). There was a broad range of attendees (including people working in satellite, wider telecoms and the broader tech industry). BT Madley is a secure, premium-quality, carrier-class Satellite Earth Station, with over 60 satellite antennas in operation ranging in diameter from 75cm to 32 metres. Attendees were shown the scale of BT Madley, which is one of Europe’s largest teleports, with a behind the scenes tour of the operations area, satellite hubs, radio equipment and power infrastructure. This including standing under the 32 metre Madley 1 antenna for this group photo. The Satellite TPN would like to thank BT Madley staff for hosting the visit which was much…
In an historic moment on 16th November 2018; the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) Agreed proposals to redefine the SI System of units including redefinition of four of the base units. These redefinitions come into force today. Here we look at what this might mean for users of measurement beyond the Laboratories of the National Standards Laboratories. Today (20th May) sees the launch of a new set of definitions of SI units. These are changes that have been rigorously researched and argued over for many years and are a remarkable achievement, amongst other things, finally laying to rest the last unit based on a physical artefact (the kilogram). There will be lots of publicity today about what this all means for the Scientific community [For inspiration try https://www.linkedin…
The Sussex Network’s interaction with the local community mainly revolves around our series of talks, our STEM activities and developing relationships with the local universities. Non-members attend our talks at two locations (north and south of the county), we meet children at STEM fairs, where we have an IET stand, and at workshops that we run in schools, and we give student prizes. Our collaboration is really only in the form of our members who sit on university Industrial Liaison Boards. But perhaps that is not community collaboration in the strictest sense. So a request from the Engineering UK Business Partnership Manager and Head of STEM Sussex to attend a discussion with a community group was intriguing, particularly since their interest was to promote the achievements of Dame Caroline…

"Don't wait for people to ask you about Cyber Security" discussed Raj Samani, chief scientist at McAfee, at the IET Eng Talk lecture held at IET Savoy Place in London. The NSCS are a good example of how the message of Cyber Security should be spread into all places of education, their Cyber First strategy allows school children to increase their knowledge on cyber security and also look to it as a professional career path. Raj discussed that the yesteryear of career development has completely different connotations to what is actually required today and as our sprawling metropolis moves to a digital society it is up to every one of us to do more to encourage career development. Dr Maria Bada, a research associate at the Cambridge Cybercrime Centre took to the stage to explain how human activities…
Sticking to the theme of Transformation, I attended the IET Central London Network lecture on Railway Electrification which demonstrated that the lack of future proofing the use of any technology means not only will innovation be slowed down, but also, it increases the chances of missed opportunity for economic development. Will Railway Electrification create eco-friendly profitable self-sustaining ecosystems? Is the UK on track? (Couldn’t resist) – Are new Novel innovations on the horizon? Read the blog and watch the live streamed-video here to understand how current Government policy is being applied to Railway Electrification.

‘The Railway Electrification: Time for a policy reset?’ Evening lecture held by the IET Central London Network at the IET Savoy Place gave good debatable insights into how Government policies should now consider approaches like Electrification. The event was presented in collaboration with the Railway Association and the IMeche. Speakers included Andy Mellors Managing Director of South Western Railway, David Clarke Technical Director of Railway Industry Association and Iain Flynn Technical Director of Synergy Rail Limited. The evening was a thought provoking attempt by the Railway Industry Association and Professional Institutions to persuade Government to change its policy on Electrification on the basis that it can be delivered at a lower cost if there is a long term investment plan that…
