The Importance of Engineering Science –What Did We Do With It, Where Is It Now and Where Will It Go?
The nationalised railway invested heavily in railway engineering research and in railway engineering; in 1972 there were around 3,000 engineering staff employed at the new Railway Technical Centre in Derby.
In contrast, during the privatisation process the railway turned its back on engineering science. Short term pragmatism ruled and engineering science was seen as unimportant to the individually privatised companies. It was not until the dreadful accidents of the 1997–2000 period that a pan-industry approach to research was re-initiated.
Today, engineering science is beginning to reappear and is once more helping industry to operate a better railway. The Railway Division of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers has played an important role in helping railway engineers and non-engineers to understand and exploit engineering science during the years when generally, industry had lost the plot. That role is more important than ever today.

Fretting fatigue has been of concern to engineers for almost 100 years. It identifies situations where relative displacement between contacting surfaces appears to give rise to a reduction in fatigue life when compared to a plain component. Failures in actual components also have a long history and a wide range of failures has been recorded in the 20th century.

When conflicts occur, court action often results. It is imperative that the engineer has a full understanding of the legalities surrounding their role and can maintain and produce personal records of the highest standards - their legal team will need these to formulate a case or provide a defence. With this in mind, in conjunction with our legal partner Bond Solon, this event will offer key advice on an engineer’s relationship with the law. Delegates will learn the legal implications of effective note-taking and record-keeping, gain valuable insight into product protection and insurance best practice.

Electric trains are perceived by the public to be clean, fast and efficient. They are more reliable and do not pollute the area in which they are used. So why is Britain not like France, Holland and Switzerland in having the bulk of its railways electrified?
The challenges of a network wide electrification programme that allows transport to take advantage of greener energy will be dealt with at this event. These include:
•Has the Industry got the skills it needs?
•Can we get the costs down?
•Can we avoid costly disruption to services?
•Are the network benefits real or imagined?
•What plants and equipment are needed?
•How do we deliver a rolling programme?
