Getting novel, complex engineered products into service quickly is hard. Research new approaches with Frazer-Nash Consultancy sponsored engineering doctorate (EngD) with Loughborough University: "Accelerated Systems Assurance with Model-Based Systems Engineering". 

If you missed our annual event in March-24, you can catch up with the recordings. Our Guest Speaker Christina Guindy, Ph.D. from the Royal Academy of Engineering spoke about Unlocking Potential: Initiatives to Diversify the Engineering Talent Pool. Watch here: https://lnkd.in/e9WT2t-S Christina's presentation covered some of the Academy's interventions to address the challenges in Engineering at company level, university level and internally, as well as some examples of positive interventions. ◾ Culture+ for small and emerging companies, an EDI platform to build everyday habits to create inclusive cultures. ◾ GEEP – Graduate Engineering Engagement Programme which supports UK engineering graduates from diverse background and under-represented groups into employment. ◾ Amazon Future Engineer Bursary programme supports women student from low-income households studying computer sciences or engineering related courses. ◾ Diversity Impact Programme to inspire change in university engineering departments for students from diverse backgrounds. Embedding D&I across the Academy e.g. ◾ One Action Plan to look at the applicant journey through the fellowship programme to look at systemic barriers at the different stages. ◾ Embed and Share Good Practice. ◾ Measure, monitor and evaluate. ◾ Research Fellowship annual call implemented enhanced positive action measures to make applicant pool more diverse. Limit to 2 applications from Universities plus 2 from women, disabled and/or Black ethnic groups, initial indicators of progress, but evolving and limited data. ◾ Implemented Access mentoring which aims to provide additional support from under-represented groups applying to Academy research grant schemes. #EDI #STEM

Earlier this month, during a career sensitization outreach, I had the opportunity to speak as one of the speakers to senior students of Government Secondary School, Hayin Banki, Kawo. I discussed the importance of pursuing a career in engineering, key qualities that prospective engineering students should possess, and the promising career opportunities available to engineering graduates. #NYSC #CareerSensitization #Engineering

The pursuit of an engineering degree is a journey marked by innovation, problem-solving, and the quest for knowledge. As we look ahead to 2024, aspiring engineers are faced with the crucial decision of selecting the right university to embark on this transformative academic path. The United States boasts an array of institutions renowned for their engineering programs, each offering a unique blend of academic excellence, cutting-edge research, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. In this article, we explore the best universities for engineering degrees in the US in 2024, considering factors such as academic reputation, research contributions, faculty expertise, and industry connections. https://lnkd.in/eanrfukT

🔍 PhD Journey 🔍 Exciting times are ahead as we prepare to move into our new state-of-the-art SPECS building, "SPECTRA," at the University of Hertfordshire! The advanced facilities and cutting-edge technology promise to elevate our research capabilities to new heights. However, this transition brings mixed feelings, especially for those of us in the final stages of our PhDs. As a final-year PhD student, the move means disassembling and reassembling my test rig, which is a significant undertaking at this critical point in my research. This process includes not only taking apart and setting up the rig again but also performing thorough calibration and validation to ensure everything functions correctly. The delays associated with the move and other potential challenges add to the complexity. Despite these hurdles, I am confident that overcoming these obstacles will strengthen our resilience and prepare us to handle future challenges with greater ease. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of our technical staff. Their hard work and dedication are making this transition possible. Additionally, I am hopeful that the Dean of Research Office will prioritize the needs of students, particularly those on studentships, by considering extensions to accommodate any disruptions caused by this relocation.  While this situation is challenging, it also presents an opportunity for growth. Navigating these difficulties will undoubtedly make us more adept at managing delays and unforeseen circumstances in our future careers. Looking forward to the exciting possibilities that "SPECTRA" will bring and ready to face the challenges head-on! #UniversityOfHertfordshire #PhDLife #Research #NewBeginnings #Resilience #SPECTRA #AdvancedFacilities #TechnicalStaff #AcademicJourney #FutureGoals
