The King's Engineers' Event 2010

The Fellows and staff of King’s were delighted to welcome over 100 King’s Members to the Engineers’ Event on Saturday 26th June. The Occasion brought together students, Fellows and alumni from an array of matriculation years, ranging from 1941 to 2009.

The event began early with tours up on the Chapel roof. There were four tours which were attended well.

After lunch the academic seminars began. Professor John Young (KC 1977) kicked off the afternoon with his session, "The Road to Thermotopia”, immediately followed by Dr Tawfique Hasan (KC 2009) with his session, "Nanotechnology – The future is small!”. After a brief tea and coffee break the group resumed for two more sessions: Dr Stephanie Lacour (KC 2006), Electric circuits with a stretch” and Dr Cesare Hall (KC 1992), "Future aircraft engines for reduced emissions”.

Evensong was well attended by the group who then congregated in the Senior Combination Room and on the patio for pre-dinner drinks. Dinner was a 3 course meal and provided everyone with the opportunity to continue their conversations, catch up on any news and to reminisce on their time at King’s.

We would like to thank the Acting Dean, Richard Lloyd Morgan and Fellows Cam Middleton, Cesare Hall and Julie Bressor for leading the Chapel roof groups; John Young, Tawfique Hasan, Stephanie Lacour and Cesare Hall for their afternoon seminars, and of course to all of the King’s Engineers who attended. Don’t forget to come back and see us again soon!
