Dear South Essex Area Member,
Welcome to our 2022-2023 session, starting on 9th November 2022 with a fantastic lecture on Alternative Fuels. After this, if our hosts are happy to talk to us online, we plan to present online various other exciting topics (more details coming soon). Zoom links for the talks will be published shortly before each one.
Your committee has volunteered, as always, to arrange an informative season of lectures to complement the Automotive Division Essex Centre’s (ADEC) programme. At the end of each one you can raise questions to the speakers using the Zoom chat function. This year, we are going to experiment with recording lectures, where there is speaker permission to do so. These events are complementary to the Automotive Division Essex Centre’s (ADEC) programme and free to attend for both IMechE members and their guests.
Yours sincerely,
Kenan Sager, CEng, FIMechE ACGI
Chairperson
South Essex Area, Institution of Mechanical Engineers
