Each 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.
The 2019 conference will be held at Coventry University, 7th to 8th November 2019.
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. The 2019 event will take place on Wednesday 22nd May, at the IStructE International HQ.
Some of the programmes and presentations from previous years’ events are available below:
