Supported Events
Technologies for Low Carbon Transportation in New Sound Environments
Date: 29 March 2011
Location: International Digital Laboratory, WMG, University of Warwick
Organisation: Engineering Integrity Society
Many automotive manufactures have launched new low carbon Hybrid and Electric Vehicles. Although these quieter powertrains offer the prospect for enhanced vehicle refinement, problems concerning the driver experience and pedestrian safety have been also introduced. Resolving these issues will therefore call for new skills to be developed and new knowledge to be explored. This year’s EIS seminar will provide opportunity to discuss these new concerns. Here the most recent research by academia and industry will be presented, whilst the latest technological developments will be on show during the exhibition .

The Piston Engine Revolution
Date: 14-17 April 2011
Location: The Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) Manchester
Organisation: Newcomen - The International Society for the History of Engineering and Technology
A revolution in transport took place once a piston could be driven by internal combustion rather than by steam pressure. There are about 20 conference papers covering the development of all forms of IC-driven piston engines from the mid 19th century to the present day, together with papers on fuel technology, component design and biography.
