EIT Celebrates Two Decades of Group Training
23 March 2021

No one knows the value of training better than EIT’s International Engineering Education Manager, Kevin Baker. This year, he celebrates his 21st anniversary in charge of the institute’s group training department, a stewardship that has seen the company run courses for everyone from; Coca-Cola to NASA, the major oil and gas players through to the United Nations.

While EIT prides itself on providing in-person training for any class anywhere in the world, for the past 13-years, there has been a steady migration to the relatively new territory of remote (virtual) teaching.

Making Smart Grids Smarter with Machine Learning
15 March 2021

As energy demand continues to increase in parallel with the growth of the world population, our energy systems need to evolve to be more flexible, sustainable, and distributed.

It was only a month ago that extreme weather events highlighted the fragility of the Texas electrical grid. As Texans’ demand for electricity soared, utility operators revealed just how poorly prepared they were for the cold weather.

The Texas electricity grid failed in spectacular fashion, and there are chances it will happen again.

How Successful Engineers Stand Out from the Crowd
15 March 2021

When you decide to enrol in a program and start studying you are investing time and money into your future goals. While engineers are currently in high-demand, professional selection criteria is becoming increasingly competitive. Hard work and good grades are no longer enough to set yourself apart in the industry. As one of Dyson’s successful engineers commented ‘It’s not always the most intelligent student that makes the best engineer’.

This month we came up with a few points that will help you stand out from the crowd:

1- Create a competitive CV

As an engineer, your résumé becomes a marketing tool that will emphasize your assets.

Practical Positives of the Engineering Internship
05 March 2021

EIT’s courses are specifically designed to balance academic excellence and preparing our students for the competitive engineering jobs market. One critical aspect of preparing for a career in the sector is the practical skills earned in undertaking an internship.

This month we sat down to map out the top five reasons for doing an engineering internship… 

1. There’s only so much you can learn in the classroom 

No matter how much time you spend in lectures and workshops, there’s no substitute for putting what you’ve learned into practice.

EIT Student Ambassadors 2021 Announcement
12 February 2021

The Engineering Institute of Technology is proud to announce Douglas Mugweni and Aaron Brook as EIT Student Ambassadors for 2021.

Every year, the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) selects an applicant to fill the role of Student Ambassador. For 2021, however, the number of applications received was greater than ever before, and the standard tremendously high – too high, in fact, to choose only one candidate. As a result, the committee has elected to create two positions for the coming year.

Boston Dynamics' Robots Ruling The Dance Floor
12 February 2021

We live in a world where, more and more, automation can be employed to take on the jobs that are just too dangerous for humans to handle. Tasks that would require mere mortals to risk life and limb are all in a day's work for modern robots.

And now they can dance better than us too.

US company Boston Dynamic has released a video clip proving robots can now bust moves that would see most of us bust ankles...and we defy you not to love it.

A Concise History of the Internship
11 February 2021

Here’s the thing: when an employer is deciding whether or not to hire you, they’re looking at a lot more than how well you know your stuff. More and more companies are paying attention to the gap between the knowledge you get from your degree and the skills you actually need to succeed in the workplace; in the last ten years alone, research has shown “75 per cent of employers prefer job candidates with relevant work experience”.

Three Inspirational Women in Science and Engineering
11 February 2021

Despite the still existing gender gap in society, more women are advancing in the engineering field, and the gap is slowly becoming smaller. To celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11th, we would like to commemorate three of the most inspirational women scientists and engineers who have changed the world and paved the way for other women to follow.

Florence Violet McKenzie (1890-1982)

Florence Violet McKenzie had an incredible career as an electrical engineer, that was mainly characterized by her contribution to encouraging women to become engineers.

Remembering Robert Snaith
07 February 2021

Rob Snaith’s career began shortly after graduating with a Higher National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Moving into fluid system applications engineering, he began what would become more than 30 years of work in the field, quickly establishing himself as an expert.

A position with a major international manufacturer of fluid sealing and transport equipment offered the opportunity to diversify into management, while in recent years Rob’s focus was as a private consultant. His breadth of knowledge and experience made him a go-to figure for designing and troubleshooting complex fluid transport systems and equipment.

Get smart about smart cities
05 February 2021

By the year 2050, up to 70% of the world’s population is expected to live in cities. Accounting for expected population growth, that means another 2.5 billion people will reside in urban settings.

To effectively manage the three pillars of sustainability – environmental, social and economic – we must remain one step ahead of this rapid expansion, which, if unmanaged, could drain our urban environment’s resources. Governments and the wider population must be agile enough to quickly implement initiatives: engineers of all disciplines will play a key role, and smart-city technology will be essential to maintaining urban sustainability, making the places we call home more efficient.

Will a robot take your job?
08 January 2021

For some, the future holds an exciting vision of technology, enhancing our everyday lives and jobs. For others, it’s a somewhat bleaker view of a dystopian future, where humans are controlled by mechanical over-lords and are unnecessary in keeping the wheels of industry turning!

Australia’s ABC network has created a thought-provoking online tool that claims to quantify the possibility of careers being taken over by robots in years to come.

Spoiler alert!

Engineering a better year ahead
07 January 2021

January is a time that we reflect on the past and plan ahead for the coming year. As we recover from the festivities of the holiday season, many of us resolve to break a few bad habits and become healthier, more organised and prepared for the challenges of the year ahead.

Few of us are completely content with how the last year played out (especially when that year happens to be 2020)! Therefore, inspired by the words of famous educators and professionals, we created a list of New Year’s resolutions, specifically designed for engineers, to help make 2021 the best year it can be.
