We recycle paper, glass and plastics so why not carbon ? The economics and performance penalty on the energy intensive industries don’t seem to be very convincing, and public perception of carbon storage is not great. We currently produce far too much carbon to fully utilise, this lecture explores if we can do more than produce fire extinguishers and fizzy drinks with about 10% of the carbon produced.

The IMechE Railway Challenge is designed for teams of engineering students studying at a UK university or apprentices working in industry. They are required to design and manufacture a miniature (10¼” gauge) railway locomotive in accordance with a set of rules and a technical specification. At the end of each year, a competition weekend will be held at Stapleford Miniature Railway in Leicestershire at which the teams will compete against each other to test their locomotive designs and determine a winning team for that year.
The competition is organised by the Railway Division of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. A successful pilot of the challenge was held in the 2011-12 academic year in which four teams took part. For more information please read IMechE goes Loco article by David Shirres.
In the 2012-13 academic year the challenge is open to teams from any UK university or railway company. The competition dates are Friday 28 June to Sunday 30 June 2013.
Spectators are more than welcome on the Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June.
This event is free to spectators, but please do register using the link on this page, you will be able to see testing, each of the teams attempt 3 challenges and the prize giving ceremony.

Software reliability is rarely of concern to most until something goes wrong. Unlike physical system components, software does not deteriorate over time, but unlike the human operator which it often replaces, software does not adapt well to situations which were not anticipated by its designers, and such glitches can prove enormously costly. However, a properly managed and structured approach can allow the reliability of associated software to be addressed and managed within acceptable levels of assurance. This event provides a comprehensive guide to the latest developments in software reliability.
