If you are a student member of the IET, you can take part in an online or telephone interview about how we can improve our communications with student members like you

Dear student,

The IET is conducting research with student members on how we can improve communications about our membership offering and we would love to hear from you.

As part of a wider IET initiative to ensure we remain relevant and useful to our members’ professional needs, we have commissioned an independent research agency, Shift Membership, to conduct interviews on our behalf. The feedback from these interviews will help us review our communication methods and strategies and ensure that you’re getting the best out of your IET membership.

Please see details of a PhD position in WMG. The title is: PhD in Modelling, Simulation and In-process Monitoring of Weld Cracks in Remote Laser Welding of High Strength 6XXX series Aluminium Extrusions – details can be found here    or contact Pasquale Franciosa directly.

** Volunteering in Lightyear Foundation's Virtual Lab​​ **

We have been shared information from the , a science charity that breaks down barriers to disabled children accessing STEM. They run a programme called the Virtual Lab, which takes place on Zoom and enables disabled young people to enjoy science experiments in a supported and accessible format. They have previously worked with STEM students at other universities and are currently recruiting more volunteers.

The Virtual Lab in an online programme for disabled children and young people who are passionate about science. Each Virtual Lab has 4 sessions, in which the group take part in a different hands-on science experiment together. The young people use equipment that we post to them (including their own lab coat!) and the session is led by our STEM Lead, Dr. Sarah Bearchell on Zoom.  

The volunteer role involves:

• Logging into the Lightyear Zoom account and hosting the technical elements of the session. This may include; admitting people from the waiting room, sharing your screen and spotlighting individuals. You will always be supported by the Lightyear team members and never solely responsible for a session. There are always 2 team members minimum on a call. You will be visible on camera. We can help you get to grips with Zoom and the functions you’ll need.
• Offering feedback and observations on students - how they manage with each task, areas for improvement etc.
• Each session lasts max. 45 mins. They sometimes vary in length, but don't go over 45mins. We meet on Zoom 15 mins before each session begins.
• Each Virtual Lab runs for 4 sessions with a cohort of 6 young people. Our upcoming Labs will take place in a school, and we are delivering one session per day for 4 days. They will run Tuesday - Friday, either 10:00 - 10:45 or 1:30 - 2:15.
• You can volunteer for one or multiple sessions. It’s wonderful when one volunteer can commit to a whole Virtual Lab (4 consecutive sessions) as this offers consistency to the students, but it is not essential. If you can only do 1 or 2 sessions, we’d still love to hear from you!
• If you are interested or have any further questions, please get in touch with Rhiannon on rhiannon@lightyearfoundation.org
