Join the Royal Academy of Engineering for the launch of a new report on Data‑centric engineering and AI skills, where you’ll be the first to hear how data, AI and advanced analytical skills can be more effectively embedded and scaled across engineering education.
As engineering systems grow in complexity, data‑centric engineering (DCE) and AI are increasingly shaping how engineering is taught and practised. DCE brings together a set of cross‑cutting competencies that are now essential across the modern engineering workforce.
Developed by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Alan Turing Institute and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, this report sets out the knowledge and skills needed to apply DCE in industrial contexts and to better prepare graduates for a digital, data-driven future.
Hear directly from the report authors and leaders from academia and industry through a panel discussion and a live Q&A.
Our Annual General Meeting this year will be held on Tuesday 14th July. There will be elections to important roles and the chance to hear about everything the EPC has been doing in the past year. EPC representatives from each university should attend and the AGM is open to all individual members.
There will be a meeting of the RA Committee taking place 1st June at 1pm.
T-levels are a set of qualifications offered in England where one T-level, a mix of classroom-based study and work placement, equivalent to 3 A-levels. They are appearing ever more regularly on UCAS applications, but should you admit those students? If not, what? And what should be done?
This webinar will include:
- The findings of the EPC’s in-depth research into the real strengths and weaknesses of T levels, A levels and other level 3 qualifications.
- A presentation by Pearson, the new providers of future Engineering T-levels, about their plans for an overhaul.
- Share your views on what you’d like to see changed – this is a genuine moment of consultation and an opportunity to influence the future.
This is an important webinar for anyone involved in admissions, recruitment and access; strategic planning or curriculum design, especially foundation years.
This event will feed into the wider consultation that Pearson is pursuing to inform its future development of T levels. As well as attending the webinar, you can contribute to the consultation through the survey.
REF 2029 Update and AI in Engineering Education
The annual PHEE-AiME Conference which will now be delivered online in a half day on the morning of Wednesday 13 May 2026.
In addition to two well balanced sessions providing the latest update on REF 2029 and recent developments on AI in Engineering Education, the Conference will incorporate the latest update on Challenges to AHEP 4 and Opportunities for AHEP5.
Full Conference Programme
All engineering colleagues at your university are welcome free of charge. Registration required.
There will be a meeting of the RA committee taking place Monday 27th April at midday.
