Patron of the Centenary, Lord Jenkin of Roding's inaugural Centenary lecture. Lord Jenkin of Roding, the grandson of the first Professor of Engineering Science at Oxford University, Frewen Jenkin, formally launched Oxford's Centenary of Engineering Science on 15th September 2007. In his introduction to The Jenkin Lecture Lord Roding, Patron of the Centenary, shared his recollections of his grandfather Frewen Jenkin - who was elected Oxford's first Professor of Engineering Science in 1908.
Dr Alastair Howatson on the "History of the Department of Engineering Science". The lecture inclined to the earlier days of Oxford engineering rather than the more familiar recent history. The University produced engineers, not always so-called, long before 1908 and engineering was taught from 1886 although there was no formal school. Jenkin, the first professor, was elected in 1908 after years of frustrated attempts to found a chair; he combined high mathematical qualifications with years of in
Professor Peter Dobson on "Innovation, Spin-out Companies and Nanotechnology" Innovation is what happens between the invention stage and the generation of revenue arising from the invention. For a knowledge economy such as in the UK, it is imperative that we can optimize innovation. At Begbroke we have been trying to understand the dynamics and barriers to innovation by creating a unique Science Park where high technology spin-off companies work on the same site as interdisciplinary University r
Professor Roland Clift, CBE on "Engineering for Sustainable Development" The term "sustainable development" embodies an important ethical principle which includes the concept of responsibility to present and future generations. This has significance not just for the practice of engineering but for the role of the individual engineer. This talk explored, using specific cases, how sustainable development affects the way in which the technical skills of the engineer should be deployed.
A post performance discussion of the work led Professor Tony Howard.
