In a typical year, one of the ACED member departments hosts a 2-day conference open to all, whether academic or industrial, involved in developing and delivering JBM accredited degree programmes. The conference is usually held in October or November.
This year, because of the COVID pandemic preventing large gatherings occurring, ACED will instead hold a November webinar, on 5th November. Details of the event are given here: http://epc.ac.uk/events/aced-webinar-5th-november-2020/. The event is free and open to any staff of ACED members institutions, without limits on numbers from each.
The other key event of the ACED calendar is the Joint Meeting held each Spring by ACED, ICE and IStructE. Heads of Civil & Structural Engineering Departments are invited to the meeting which is hosted, alternately, by one of the two Engineering Institutions. Presidents of both Institutions are present or represented – they prepare addresses and convene sessions. Details for the 2021 event will be circulated in due course and will be subject to COVID guidelines.
Some of the programmes and presentations from previous years’ events are available below:
