Learning to solder means watching closely: where the iron touches, how the solder flows and when to move your hands. But in a crowded teaching laboratory, that view can be difficult to get. Imperial College London has worked with immersive video specialist Gracia AI to create a masterclass that lets engineering students examine an expert’s technique from different … [Read more...] about Imperial develops 4D soldering masterclass for engineering students

King’s launches ‘self-driving’ laboratory initiative
Laboratories capable of running experiments, analysing the results and deciding what to test next are the focus of a new £150,000 initiative at King’s College London. King’s Autonomous Labs (KAL) will bring together artificial intelligence, robotics, sensors and laboratory automation to explore the development of so-called ‘self-driving’ laboratories. Rather than simply … [Read more...] about King’s launches ‘self-driving’ laboratory initiative
UEL students take top prize in structural design competition
Four University of East London engineering students have taken joint first place in a national competition that challenges students to solve the sort of structural problems they will encounter in professional practice. MSc Structural Engineering students Harry Dean, Bishow Simkhada, Siva Prasad Goud Lagusani and Samuel Mensah shared first place in The Concrete Centre's 2026 … [Read more...] about UEL students take top prize in structural design competition
Oxford, UCL and Imperial Join Forces to Rethink How AI Research Is Done
Some of the biggest advances in artificial intelligence have emerged from industrial research labs with enormous computing resources, large multidisciplinary teams and the freedom to pursue ambitious ideas at speed. UK universities now want to see whether academia can compete by changing the way AI research itself is organised. The University of Oxford, University College … [Read more...] about Oxford, UCL and Imperial Join Forces to Rethink How AI Research Is Done
UCL workshop puts school students in the engineering driving seat
For anyone considering a career in engineering, seeing how a design progresses from a computer screen to something that can actually be built and tested can make the subject considerably more tangible. That was the idea behind UCL Mechanical Engineering’s inaugural STEM Racing Workshop Day, held in partnership with STEM Racing UK. The event brought 110 students and teachers … [Read more...] about UCL workshop puts school students in the engineering driving seat
