AAPS ITT1 took place in collaboration with external partners from AVL in the centre of Bath. Academics, students and industry representatives work collaboratively in groups throughout the week to describe and formulate real-life industrial problems into research proposals. During the ITT Students gained research distillation, presentation and group working skills.

Public Engagement Training delivered by Cardiff University and Science Made Simple.

AAPS ITT2 took place in collaboration with external partners from Horiba Mira virtually. Academics, students and industry representatives work collaboratively in groups throughout the week to describe and formulate real-life industrial problems into research proposals. During the ITT Students gained research distillation, presentation and group working skills.

AAPS CDT Students attended a series of summer masterclasses on the theme Thermal Modelling Techniques. In this session they gained an overview of engine and turbocharger modelling techniques and experience of different simulation software.

AAPS CDT Students attended a series of summer masterclasses on the theme Thermal Modelling Techniques, this session gave an in depth overview of electric motor modelling and architectures.

AAPS CDT Students attended a series of summer masterclasses on the theme Thermal Modelling Techniques, this session gave an overview of three different modelling domains within SaberRD: Electrical, Mechanical and Thermal. Students constructed a basic model for each of the three domains and simulated various typical scenarios, allowing them to solidify our knowledge whilst gaining experience working in SaberRD.

Each student is assigned a peer mentor when they join the programme, and then subsequently become a peer mentor to the following intake of students. Peer mentoring training is delivered by the Student Union to provide students with key insights on how to be a good mentor such as being a good active listener and a set of psychological models that can be used to encourage reflective discussions.

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is an important part of the AAPS CDT’s training programme, so each student undertakes a introduction to RRI to be able to understand and explain the concept of RRI, the importance of RRI and to illustrate how RRI principles can be implemented

AAPS ITT4 took place in collaboration with external partners from National Express. Academics, students and industry representatives work collaboratively in groups throughout the week to describe and formulate real-life industrial problems into research proposals. During the ITT Students gained research distillation, presentation and group working skills.

AAPS CDT Students attended a summer masterclass on the topic of LCA, where they gained an overview of sustainability and learn the theory of LCA (attributional, consequential, use in existing and emerging technology/materials) and looked into different case studies.

AAPS CDT Students attended a summer masterclass on the theme Low Carbon Fuels, where they learnt about the chemistry behind conventional fuels and what they actually are, what each family of components do and used this as a platform to overview the main routes to future renewable transport fuels. This masterclass also gave an introduction to Hydrogen.

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is an important part of the AAPS CDT’s training programme. AAPS partnered with the Sustainable Electric Propulsion CDT to deliver both sets of students a debating training session focused on some contentious topics in the sector.

Part of the student organising committee for the AAPS 2022 Conference, this involves students scheduling the programme for the conference, organising external speakers, seeking sponsorship from industrial partners and communicating with attendees.

AAPS ITT6 took place in collaboration with external partners from SHELL in the centre of Bath. Academics, students and industry representatives work collaboratively in groups throughout the week to describe and formulate real-life industrial problems into research proposals. During the ITT Students gained research distillation, presentation and group working skills.

Training session for engaging with the public with Science made simple

Session that address how to write eye catching and informative posters as well as how to present them.
