DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam’s Electrifying Mysteries\nThis webinar series provides a structured examination of real-world engineering challenges. Each session will address specific\, technically focused topics relevant to professional engineers. \nWebinar details\nUninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) are designed to perform flawlessly during power disturbances—yet real-world failures continue to occur at the worst possible moment: during an actual blackout. This webinar explores a compelling engineering mystery in which a UPS system passed all routine inspections\, load tests\, and commissioning checks\, yet failed catastrophically when needed most. \nThrough a forensic engineering lens\, participants will examine hidden failure modes\, including battery degradation under dynamic load\, inverter transfer delays\, control logic anomalies\, and upstream protection coordination issues. The session bridges the gap between laboratory validation and real-world operating conditions\, highlighting why “passing tests” does not always guarantee reliability in practice. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nUnderstand the limitations of standard UPS testing protocols versus real-world transient conditions.\nIdentify hidden failure modes in batteries\, static switches\, and inverter control systems.\nAnalyse the impact of load characteristics (nonlinear\, inrush\, harmonics) on UPS performance.\nDevelop improved testing\, maintenance\, and validation strategies for mission-critical systems.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Electrical Engineering and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Circuit Breakers\, Switchgear & Power Transformers\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Power Distribution\n52888WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Power Industry)\n52892WA Advanced Diploma of Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Engineering in Mining\n52883WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Electrical Systems)\nUET60222 Advanced Diploma of ESI – Power Systems (Australia & New Zealand Only)\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems)\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam \nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \nProfessor Akhtar Kalam is a supervisor of EIT’s Doctoral students.

Yet many organisations still overlook its potential or consider it unsuitable for real production. \nIn this webinar\, we explore what manufacturers are missing by not integrating metal additive manufacturing into their production strategy. The session will highlight practical advantages such as design freedom\, part consolidation\, performance optimisation\, reduced lead times\, and supply-chain resilience. Real-world examples will demonstrate where metal AM delivers clear technical and commercial value\, and where it may not. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of how metal AM complements conventional manufacturing\, common misconceptions that prevent adoption\, and key considerations for evaluating its feasibility in an industrial environment. This webinar is ideal for engineers\, technical managers\, and decision-makers seeking to future-proof their manufacturing processes and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC.

Numerous industries including engineering\, architecture\, product design\, and manufacturing heavily rely on CAD. The use of CAD reduces design time and errors\, enhances documentation quality\, allows for easy modifications\, and facilitates digital manufacturing. \nComputer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) involves the use of software and computer-controlled machinery to automate the manufacturing process. CAM works hand-in-hand with CAD systems: once a design is created in CAD\, CAM software generates the toolpaths and instructions needed to produce the physical part using machines such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) routers\, mills\, lathes\, or 3D printers. \nCAD/CAM has been utilized in engineering practice in various ways\, including drafting\, design\, simulation\, analysis\, and manufacturing. These systems are commonly used in daily engineering tasks. Engineering companies both large and small acquire CAD/CAM systems and train their engineers accordingly. It is not uncommon for different groups within the same company to use different CAD/CAM platforms. \nThis webinar will cover four major areas of CAD/CAM: geometric modeling\, computer graphics\, design applications\, and manufacturing applications. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC.

Although admixtures typically account for a small portion of concrete by weight\, they play a critical role in enhancing both technical performance and sustainability. \nWith rising interest in the environmental impact of construction materials\, more Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for admixtures are being published each year. Understanding their life cycle helps reduce emissions and promote transparency. Additionally\, admixtures can act as enablers for significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions beyond their own life cycle—a concept known as avoided emissions. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nUnderstand why accurate life cycle assessment of concrete admixtures depends on access to comprehensive product data.\nLearn how Environmental Product Declarations reveal the impact of formulation optimization in significantly lowering emissions.\nDiscover how a case study revealed that concrete admixtures can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions through avoided emissions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Civil Engineering  and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Repair of Concrete\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Structural Design for Non-Structural Engineers\n52873WA Advanced Diploma of Civil and Structural Engineering\n52896WA Advanced Diploma of Civil and Structural Engineering (Materials Testing)\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Civil & Structural Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural)\n\nAbout the presenter\n \nDr Nam. Le\, EIT Lecturer and Sika Australia R&D Sustainability Manager \nDr Nam Le is an experienced professional in construction materials\, with a background spanning both academia and industry.\nHe obtained his PhD in Civil Engineering from National University of Singapore\, his Master of Engineering and Bachelor of Engineering in Construction Materials from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. \nDr. Nam Le is passionate about sustainable material solutions and initiatives for reducing carbon emissions.
