Events
The Institution organises technical conferences, seminars, workshops and social functions for the Mechanical Engineering community. Designed by engineers for engineers, we welcome both members and non-members to attend these events.
Listed below are all the seminars and lectures organised by the Safety and Reliability Group.
Date: 29 May 2012
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: London
This one-day seminar provides a comprehensive guide to the latest developments in software reliability.
Date: 11 June 2012
Event Type: Lecture
Location: London
**17:30 for 18:00**
Judith Hackitt, Chair of Health and Safety Executive, will draw upon a number of case studies that highlight the importance of engineering solutions that can be built, operated and then modified to accommodate new technologies or decommissioned and disposed of safely and sustainably. Using examples such as the Flixborough and Piper Alpha disasters along with HSE's recent work in Emerging Energy Technologies and on the Olympic Park build project, Judith will cover a range of issues and challenges that are faced by engineers and those working in the health and safety system.
Date: 02 October 2012
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: London
Delegates will understand the potential for 3D modelling of human-system interactions that will benefit the engineering design process for the whole product lifecycle. Speakers will equip engineers with examples of application of 3D modelling to improve safety, reliability, operability and maintainability and reduce costs in engineering design and safety assessment.
Date: 14 November 2012
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: London
Delegates will hear the principles behind reliability, and its importance. Case studies will show examples of organisations successfully managing reliability and how monitoring their achievement can lead to improved products or services. Experts will offer methods and processes to help identify problems and provide solutions to overcome them.
Date: 05 February 2013
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: London
**Call for papers - deadline for abstracts 25 May 2012**
Mechanical engineering is about managing risk, the application of appropriate techniques, methods, processes and standards to design, build, operate and maintain systems to the benefit of society. Speakers will present on the guidance available on process and systems to help engineers manage risks both in safety and reliability.
