  During Tomorrow's Engineers Week (#TEWeek22) this week, we are celebrating 10 years of inspiring young people about STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) – and engineering careers. Thousands of students around the world are tuning in to watch the Future Minds broadcast – and voting on their favourite ideas that will shape the future of engineering.
- Manufacturing & Engineering Week 2023: 'The Glastonbury of the industrial sector' (07/11/2022)
  
  Award-winning trade show organiser, Nineteen Group has announced the return of Manufacturing & Engineering Week in June 2023. The week-long festival combines both live & digital events celebrating the best that the UK industrial sector has to offer. The centrepieces of the week are four co-located exhibitions taking place at Birmingham’s NEC:
- Editor’s comment: Engineers will save the day… (02/11/2022)
  
  Regular EPDT readers will know that I often write about the key role engineers play in addressing the grand challenges facing society – from improving energy security & confronting climate change, to ensuring universal access to clean drinking water & maximising the benefits of AI for all. Engineers are tasked with creating, developing, building & maintaining the technologies to solve these problems & improve everyday life...
- A hotbed of innovation: New research reveals engineering adds up to an estimated £645bn to the UK’s economy annually (02/11/2022)
  
  On National Engineering Day, new research from the Royal Academy of Engineering has revealed that the UK is an engineering powerhouse, with the profession generating up to an estimated £645bn gross value added (GVA) to the UK’s economy annually – equivalent to 32% of the country’s economic output.
- “15 minutes bakers, 15 minutes!” Bake Off stars join forces to create an edible, working clock to celebrate National Engineering Day (02/11/2022)

- The amazing technology behind EV batteries (01/11/2022)
  
  Unlike a single energy storage element, such as a fuel tank, electric vehicle (EV) battery packs consist of hundreds of individual lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery cells in a long series. When not operated within a carefully controlled range, the capacity & lifetime of these battery cells can diminish & diverge over time & operating conditions.
- Residual current monitoring offers an alternative to insulation resistance measurement on production equipment (01/11/2022)
  
  Often, conventional insulation measurements in production systems can be quite costly. In some cases, systems must be shut down completely, or components such as frequency converters or switching power supplies disconnected, because the sensitive semiconductor components can be damaged by the test voltages.
- Industry urged to showcase engineering during the 10th Tomorrow’s Engineers Week (27/10/2022)
  
  Employers & engineers are being asked to flood social media with positive images, stories & messages about engineering careers to show young people the real face of engineering.

- Meeting 5G mobile communications & data centre demands with advanced power management technologies (01/10/2022)
  
  Perched atop a 25 metre mast on the edge of the Mojave Desert, a 5G radio transceiver is exposed to searing heat. The smaller & lighter its radio components, the more efficient its electronic systems, the less heat they generate – and the easier it is to keep the system cool & functioning. At a data centre spread out over 1,000 acres, banks of servers execute millions of searches & high demand workloads to feed an ever-expanding information hungry world.
