What does a smart home have? It all depends on you and the actions you define. By simply clicking the programmed “Arrival” scene in the application, the smart home will automatically open the entrance gate and garage doors for you. The system will disarm the smart lock in the front door and the alarm, and also turn on the lights for a specified time, open the blinds throughout the house and welcome you with your favourite music. What you previously had to do yourself, the Grenton Smart Home will now do for you. #engineers #engineering #engineer #technology #engineeringlife #civilengineering #mechanicalengineering #civil #construction #engineeringstudent #mechanical #electricalengineering #design #civilengineer #innovation #tech #engineerlife #engineeringmemes #memes #electronics #civilengineers #architecture #worldofengineering

UK engineering profession launches policy priorities JUNE 12, 2024 The Engineering Council has contributed to a new set of policy priorities unveiled by the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC), led by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng). In the document ‘Engineering a resilient and prosperous future: policy priorities for the next UK parliament’, the engineering profession is calling for the next government ‘to be bold, and take a holistic, long-term approach to tackling complex challenges and building sustainable economic growth, helping to improve people’s lives’. Engineering experts from 42 professional engineering organisations – together representing over 700,000 engineers across the UK – outline the role of engineering in meeting the UK’s needs. The RAEng said: “Reversing persistently low economic growth is essential, and cannot be done without fostering innovation, supporting small businesses, and investing in strategic sectors. This will enable the UK to tackle climate change, upgrade our ageing infrastructure, and build warm and healthy homes.” As well as ‘an ambitious approach to industrial strategy’, the NEPC also calls on the new government to create a framework for sustainable economic growth by ‘taking a systems approach’ to policy, including the commitment to Net Zero, delivering a National Engineering and Technology Workforce Strategy, and ‘futureproofing UK infrastructure to deliver sustainable, resilient and healthy spaces’. President of the RAEng, Professor Sir Jim McDonald (pictured), said: “More than eight million people work in the UK’s engineering economy, and the profession generates up to an estimated £645 bn gross value added to the economy annually. For the UK to leverage that impressive engineering and technological strength, the new government needs to pursue a clear industrial strategy, underpinned by large-scale, targeted support to key sectors, as many of our competitor nations have succeeded in doing. The choice is clear: we must create an environment that supports companies here, or they will go elsewhere.” Engineering Council CEO, Paul Bailey, added: “Ethics, sustainability, and acting in society’s best interests are already prominent features in the standards the Engineering Council has developed with the engineering profession. At a time when engineers have such a vital role to play in solving complex national and global problems, it has never been more important for us to uphold those standards and live up to the trust society places in engineering.”

The Road Ahead: How Smart Technology is Redefining Roadway Design In the rapidly evolving landscape of civil engineering, the transformation of roadway design stands as a testament to innovation and forward-thinking. As we recruit top talent for cutting-edge projects, it's clear that the future of transportation infrastructure is being shaped by smart technology. From Traditional to Smart Roads: A Glimpse into the Future - Traditional Roads: For decades, the focus has been on durability and capacity, with advancements primarily in materials and construction methods. - Smart Roads: Today, we're stepping into an era where roads are not just paths but interactive ecosystems. Smart roads integrate technology to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Key Features of Smart Roads: - Embedded Sensors: Monitor conditions like traffic flow, temperature, and road surface integrity in real time. - Dynamic Signage: Adjusts to real-time conditions, providing drivers with up-to-the-minute information on traffic, weather, and safety alerts. - Energy Harvesting: Some smart roads can generate electricity through solar panels or piezoelectric materials, powering streetlights and nearby infrastructure. - Connectivity: Facilitates vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, laying the groundwork for autonomous vehicle integration. Why This Matters for Civil Engineers: The shift towards smart roads requires a new set of skills and expertise. Civil engineers today need to be adept not only in traditional design and construction practices but also in integrating technology solutions that enhance infrastructure intelligence. #FirstClassRecruiting #CivilEngineering #RoadwayDesign

4th February - Global Day of the Engineer. Global Day of the Engineer takes place annually on March 4. The celebrations are jointly sponsored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (W.F.E.O.) to acknowledge the achievements of engineers and their contributions to construction and building infrastructure. There’s also an added focus on engineering and how to get future generations interested in it. Today, Global Day of the Engineer’s goals also includes sustainable development, and it has become a source of inspiration for many aspiring engineers. On March 4, 1968, the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (W.F.E.O.) was founded in Paris, France. It is a global, nongovernmental organization working to unite international engineering associations. Since then, the WF.E.O. has worked tirelessly to advance engineering as a solution to international and national issues. The group also encourages its members to participate in cross-country efforts to create a sustainable and equitable world through engineering and construction. Global Day of the Engineer was first observed in 2016. The celebrations emphasize that engineering can be a gratifying profession because an engineer’s innovations are helpful in our daily lives. With proper education, training, and guidance, engineering can be a lot of fun. It’s not the dry and rigid profession that we assume it is. There is a growing focus on encouraging young students to take an interest in engineering concepts and pursue technology and engineering in their higher studies. Because engineering has several niches and departments, there’s something of interest for everyone. It’s also a stable career with good pay and benefits. And if you think about it, human beings have been engineering since the beginning of time! Each year, Global Day of the Engineer unites the international engineering community to celebrate engineering accomplishments. The organizers also encourage the youth to participate in engineering activities and reflect on the field’s contributions.

Industrial light engineering plays a crucial role in ensuring proper lighting in industrial and manufacturing settings. Unlike residential lighting, industrial lighting is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of environments such as production facilities and warehouses. Crow Engineering specializes in industrial plant layout optimization and design engineering services, recognizing the importance of understanding the nuances of industrial lighting for efficient, safe, and productive operations. Industrial lighting systems are designed for high output, durability, and coverage, illuminating spaces where precision, safety, and efficiency are paramount. The scale and intensity of industrial lighting ensure that every corner of a facility is well-lit, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing visibility for intricate tasks. The significance of lighting in industrial settings cannot be overstated. It is essential for operational safety, worker productivity, and energy efficiency. Inadequate lighting can lead to increased accident rates, diminished worker performance, and higher energy costs. Conversely, well-designed lighting systems contribute to a safer, more productive workplace and substantial energy savings, especially when incorporating advanced technologies such as LED lighting, occupancy sensors, and daylight harvesting systems.

As technology rapidly advances, we're starting to see a convergence of engineering disciplines. The boundaries that once defined distinct branches like mechanical, electrical, software, and civil engineering are becoming increasingly blurred. With interdisciplinary projects and the rise of integrated systems, the future may hold a singular engineering landscape where collaboration across fields becomes the norm, rather than the exception. In a few decades, we might not talk about "branches" of engineering, but about unified problem-solving approaches that pull from all areas. Exciting times ahead! #EngineeringFuture #TechConvergence #UnifiedEngineering #Innovation #STEM #InterdisciplinaryCollaboration #FutureOfWork
