Ethics and the Engineer
Embedding ethics in the engineering community
5.30pm - 9pm at The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London
Ethics and ethical behaviour is of fundamental importance to modern society, and the subject of much current debate. It has practical realisation in the behaviour of individuals and organisations, including the professions, where it defines their values, and helps inform their codes of conduct.

Academy Briefing
What do Engineers Really Need to Learn about Sustainable Development?
4.00pm at Please note change of venue - Mary Sumner House, Conference Hall, 24 Tufton Street, London SW1P 3RB
The recent revision of professional accreditation requirements by Engineering Council (UK) now requires that candidates for registration as professional engineers should demonstrate competence in addressing sustainability issues.

During this briefing session, The Academy launched its latest publication: Engineering for Sustainable Development: Guiding Principles (948KB)Adobe PDF document icon image. This guide for the practising engineer sets out twelve simple principles which are illustrated by seven case studies. The guide was written to be of use to teachers, students and practising engineers alike.

19 July 2005
UK Focus for Biomedical Engineering Briefing Seminars
Systems Biology - Opportunities for Medical Engineering
2.30pm at 29 Great Peter St, London SW1P
The first of a series of Briefings on biomedical engineering topics for non-specialists took place on 19 July 2005. The seminar entitled 'Systems Biology - Opportunities for Medical Engineering' was jointly chaired by Chairman of the UK Focus for Biomedical Engineering, Professor Richard Kitney OBE FREng and Professor Lionel Tarassenko FREng.

Speakers included Professor Peter Hunter of the University of Auckland, who stepped in at a moment's notice - as a replacement for Professor Denis Noble CBE FRS FMedSci - to deliver a presentation on the work of his team in New Zealand into modelling the function of the heart. Professor Kitney explored the importance of systems biology to the field of engineering and Professor Steve Smith FMedSci discussed the impact of systems methodologies within biology and the practice of clinical medicine. The event was an encouraging start to the Briefings programme and a short report will be available soon on the Academy's website. The next UK Focus for Biomedical Engineering Briefing on the topic of Nanotechnology and Biomedical Engineering will take place in January 2006.
