Are you interested in safety within engineering? To help shape new priorities for our Engineering X Skills for Safety programme, we are launching a survey to: - Identify potential collaborators - Understand safety challenges and skills gaps - Highlight best practices and technologies. We're looking to hear from representatives from industry, academia, policy, professional bodies, advocacy groups and other stakeholders, from anywhere in the world, working on or with an interest in safety within engineering. Complete the survey at: https://lnkd.in/es_jp3Dh Respond by 18 September. Engineering X is a collaboration between the Academy and Lloyd's Register Foundation. #EngineeringX

The Trustee Board, Fellows and staff of the Royal Academy of Engineering are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Mike Lynch OBE DL FREng FRS, and send our profound condolences to his family. Mike became a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2008 and we have fond memories of the active role he played in the past, as a mentor, donor and former Council member. He was also one of the inaugural members on the Enterprise Committee. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

We are delighted to announce seven new Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowships for 2024/2025. This year's fellowships will support outstanding researchers working on a wide variety of engineering challenges, ranging from the use of 3D bioprinting to repair damaged skeletal muscle tissue to improving the resilience of road networks to flooding. Professor Anne Trefethen FREng, Chair of the RAEng / Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowships panel said: “This year’s awardees amply demonstrate just how wide-ranging and potentially impactful UK engineering research is. I am pleased that with the continued support of the Leverhulme Trust we are able to help more talented individuals and whose research projects I hope will deliver substantial benefits to society here and elsewhere in the world." Congratulations to this year's awardees. Find out more about our new awardees and their research: https://lnkd.in/egjApq5c

Royal Academy of Engineering reposted this
The A level results are out again and there seem to be some remarkable increases in STEM subjects. Participation in Maths A level has risen to 107,500. A whopping 11% year-on-year increase. Women represent around 37%, which is fairly consistent with last year’s cohort. The makes maths by far the most popular A level, accounting for pretty much one in ten exam entries. _ Physics has also seen a very respectable 12.5 increase in students to 43,000, with women breaking past the 10,000 mark for the first time since as far as I can see from the JCQ data – which is a great result! But their representation in the cohort is still stubbornly sitting at around 23%. _ Computing is also on the up. An 11% rise from 18,000 last year to 20,000 this year. And representation of women is also up from 15% to17.5% this year - which is again to be celebrated! Sadly Design and Technology had a very small decrease to 10,500 students. But given its relative importance in influencing young people’s progression towards engineering in higher education, the decline of the subject in schools is still a cause for concern. _ Other STEM subjects seem to be holding fairly steady. Biology remains at 74,000 entries, Chemistry at 62,000 but further maths has seen a 20% increase (albeit from low base) from 15,000 to 18,000. _ More generally, There’s been some concern in the press (Guardian newspaper yesterday) that humanities subjects are losing out to STEM subjects and that may be the case over the longer term, but for this year humanities subjects also seem to be holding steady, and the number of students seem to be pretty similar to last year so any increases or decreases don’t seem to be a function of demographics. I’ll put out a separate post on T levels and other qualifications shortly. #Alevels #ResultsDay #Results #STEM #Mathematics #DesignTechnology #Chemistry #Biology #Physics #Computing #engineering @RAEngNews

‘Spinning out’ a lab-developed innovation is a complex, time-consuming process. We’re looking to partner with a supplier to produce a practical guide to support engineering and technology-focused innovators based at Indian universities to understand and navigate this experience. The handbook will offer independent, actionable advice, debunking the myths and jargon associated with the spinout process in India. This will be drawn from the Academy’s position as a thought leader in the sector, and informed by LIF’s unrivalled international network of 1,400+ #InnovationLeaders.
