  • IET Talks 2020/2021 Academic Year

    Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, most of the venues we normally use for lectures are currently closed.  All of our talks in 2020 are online and can be booked via the IET events pages.  For 2021, we are putting together talks which will probably also be online unless there are major changes in rules and conditions for holding events and venues are available.

  • Apprentice's 5,000-mile trip to become a training master

    An apprentice at the University of Sunderland took a trip of a lifetime to become a training master. Steve Simm, who studies on the Learning and Skills Teacher (LST) Apprenticeship at the University, travelled over 5,500 miles to Japan to be certified as an Overseas Monozukuri Education Master Trainer for Unipres. Receiving this accreditation means that Steve will be able to deliver in-house Japanese-style training in the UK, enhancing the teaching he already delivers through a range of level 2 apprenticeships at the Unipres Training Academy. Steve said: “This trip to Japan was fantastic. Over the four-day training course, I’ve been able to enrich my own professional development which now enables me to incorporate Japanese-style teaching into the training academy here in the UK. “While…

  • Britain’s £225m Isambard-AI supercomputer goes live – 10x faster than next-best machine

    Britain’s most powerful supercomputer, the £225m Isambard-AI, has been officially launched in Bristol with promises that it could enable breakthroughs in areas such as medicine, robotics and climate change. The supercomputer went from conception to deployment in just under two years and houses a colossal 21 exaflops of AI performance, powered by 5,448 NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips. Isambard-AI is more than 10 times faster than the UK’s next fastest supercomputer and has more computing power than all other UK supercomputers combined. Scientists at Bristol University believe it could open the door to a range of applications, such as faster, more accurate cancer diagnoses and new clean energy innovations. It is already being used to analyse recordings from wearable cameras and other…

  • Industry insight: Demystifying quantum technology

    This is article was written for E+T Magazine by Matt Himsworth, chief scientific officer at Aquark Technologies. In engineering, we’re always searching for more precise tools, more accurate measurements, and more innovative approaches to solving complex problems. The good news is that quantum technologies are emerging as powerful additions to our toolkit. Quantum is not merely a series of distant theoretical concepts; it’s providing us with practical applications ready for implementation across a range of engineering disciplines right now. Although quantum computing captures most of the headlines, the immediate use cases for quantum technologies in engineering lie elsewhere. Unlike in quantum computing, where valuable applications are still a few years away, quantum sensing and quantum…
