List of presidents of the Institution of Civil Engineers. This is a list of presidents of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). The president's role is to represent the institution and to promote the profession to the public. The first president was Thomas Telford who had the office bestowed upon him for life in recognition of his contributions to the civil engineering profession. It became a biennial office with the election of Sir William Cubitt in 1849 and an annual office with the election of Sir George Berkley in 1891, which it has remained since.

On 18 December 1956 Harold Gourley died just six weeks after assuming the office in November. Gourley was the first regularly elected president to die in office (Telford, who was elected president for life, died in office) and the ICE council, who were authorised to fill any vacancy except that of President, were forced to call a Special General Meeting of members. As a result of this meeting, Sir Frederick Arthur Whitaker was elected to the position in February 1957 and was allowed to serve out the remainder of Gourley's term in addition to his own full term. Subsequent deaths-in-office saw Sir Herbert Manzoni succeed Arthur Hartley in February 1960; and Tony Ridley succeed Edmund Hambly in March 1995.

Current practice is for candidates to be nominated by the ICE Presidential Selection Panel. The candidate will then serve as one of several vice-presidents of the institution, becoming senior vice-president in the session preceding their term as president. The candidate is formally elected as president by the ICE council in the January of their senior vice-presidential term. The new president takes office at the start of the ICE session in November, the opening meeting being an address from the incoming president.

The first female president, Jean Venables, was elected in 2008, the second, Rachel Skinner, in 2020 and the third, Anusha Shah, in 2023.

Ironing (metalworking). Ironing is a sheet metal forming process that uniformly thins the workpiece in a specific area. This is not to be mistaken with fabric Ironing.

This process involves using force to evenly flatten a piece of sheet metal into a uniform shape. This could also be the root of the process name, as it uses pressure to flatten the material much like fabric Ironing.

Process

For the process, the piece of metal is placed against a tool that presses it forward, called a "Punch". the punch pushes the metal through a Die, or more commonly 2 Dies, which are designed to push against the metal until it reaches a desired flatness. This also results in the piece being made longer, as the process spreads the metal out more rather than removing any of it.

Ironing is commonly used alongside the process of Deep drawing, as the process of deep drawing is very similar in how it uses pressure, and deep drawing can often lead to irregularities in uniformity. Described briefly, deep drawing involves pushing down on a piece of metal (usually round) into dies to result in a deeper piece of metal that is mostly hollow.

Applications 
Most uses of Ironing are brought in following a deep draw process to finish a piece.

The most commonly known use of Ironing is in the production of drink cans, as the process helps make uniform cans all around, which is useful for identical appearance and packaging.

Deep drawing and Ironing are also heavily used in the automotive industry for making parts. One such example is casing for a car battery.

Daniel Klute. Daniel O'Donnell Klute (1921–1964) was an American rocket scientist and chemical engineer.

During World War II, Klute worked for Chrysler developing the first American jet-powered fighter planes. Later, he was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project and the development of the first atomic bomb in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

During the early 1960s, Klute was in charge of the combustion research at Rocketdyne Corporation during the development of the Saturn F-1 rocket engine. Testing of the engine had revealed a serious instability problem during combustion that would sometimes cause catastrophic failure. In October, 1962, Dr. Klute presided over the Combustion Stability Committee at the Liquid Propulsion Division at Rocketdyne. His contributions were instrumental in solving the combustion instability problem.

The crater Klute on the Moon was named after him in 1970 by the International Astronomical Union.

Dr. Klute's experience at Rocketdyne included analyses and analytical design studies for nearly all Rocketdyne engines, both liquid and solid.  He was responsible for structural analysis and integrity of many Rocketdyne engines and their components.  His analyses of control systems resulted in the advancement in the design of Rocketdyne products.  In the last four years of his life, he had been associated with the combustion devices and combustion processes of the liquid rocket engines.  He was especially influential in the design and development of the J-2 and F-1 combustion components.  From October 1962, until his death, he had been responsible for the direction of the F-1 stability program.  In this capacity he gained national recognition and prominence as one of the nation's outstanding scientists.  During this assignment he worked closely with government specialists, university professors, and consultants regarding the fundamentals of combustion stability.  He was recognized by NASA as an individual who made outstanding contributions to this field.

In 1945, Klute married Frances Kramer in Detroit, Michigan. Kramer worked testing aircraft engines in the Chrysler Factory. Together, they had nine children; Michael, Mary, Daniel, David, Margaret, Martha, Elizabeth, Steven, and Helen.

Careers Scotland Space School. The Careers Scotland Space School, also known as the Scottish Space School, is an organisation set up by Careers Scotland and funded by the Scottish Government. This is a government programme, organised as a partnership initiative with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), to encourage young people to gain an interest in STEM subjects, Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

The Initiatives
The programme provides support teaching materials and includes provision for 120 pupils to attend a summer school, which focuses on electronics and life sciences, at the University of Strathclyde. There is also a series of visits to schools by NASA astronauts and scientists. For example, in June 2007 staff from NASA attended an exhibition in Nairn. In 2007 it is using a staged competition-like structure, with the top prize (for 52 students) a 12-day trip to Johnson Space Center, in Houston, Texas.

Endorsing the Programme
In March 2007, Nick Patrick, to show his support for the Space School, returned to Edinburgh, carrying a saltire flag that had been with him on his first NASA space mission, with a student who was participating in the Space School.

The Scotsman described the initiative as "a world-leading programme". Alex Blackwood, the programme founder, won the 2006 Achievement in Education Sir Arthur Clarke Award. A regular invited presenter at the school is the Cyborg scientist Kevin Warwick.

Almondbank. Almondbank is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, about  northwest of Perth. With the building of Royal Naval Aircraft Workshops, Almondbank grew significantly during and after the Second World War.

RNAS Almondbank 
The establishment of Royal Naval Aircraft Workshops commenced in 1940. The station, a stone frigate, was employed as a RNAS Aircraft Repair Yard  and Stores Depot.
The workshops had their own small railway branch line which was linked to the now-closed Almondbank railway station.

StandardAero Facility 
The Defence Aviation Repair Agency (DARA) site at Almondbank was a major employer in the community for many years providing essential support to the British Armed Forces. The Decision by the UK government in early 2008 to take the site (and its counterpart at Fleetlands, Gosport) out of direct MOD control by doing a conditional sell-off to Canadian firm Vector Aerospace was a controversial one and there were concerns about the future of the site. In 2011, Vector Aerospace was taken over by Eurocopter (now Airbus) who operated the Almondbank site for seven years. In 2018, StandardAero Aviation Holdings, Inc. and Airbus SE announced that they have finalized the acquisition by StandardAero of Vector Aerospace Holding SAS from Airbus.

School, church and community 
The village of Almondbank is often seen as including the attached hamlets of Pitcairngreen and Lochty, and the wider area is sometimes called Almondvalley. There is one school serving the area, Pitcairn Primary, which opened in 1939 and replaced older schools. The school is located in the northernmost housing development of the village, sometimes referred to as Bridgeton, even although there is no signage in recognition of this and the area remains part of Almondbank itself (as opposed to Pitcairngreen and Lochty). Next to the school lies the only shop in the village and directly opposite this is the church, which is known as Almondbank/Tibbermore (St Serf's). 
Another area of the village is known as College Mill, which borders the River Almond, the river that gives the village its name and a housing development constructed in the 1990s at the southern end of the village was known for many years as "Bett Homes", named after the site developers. This area encompasses Admiralty Wood and MacKenzie Drive, the majority of houses in the latter being 'affordable homes'. Around the same time these houses were being built, a much smaller development in the Lochty area was built by the local construction firm, GS Brown.

Almondbank is close to another Perthshire village, Methven.

Izuogu Z-600. The Izuogu Z-600 prototype was the first indigenous Nigerian car, and the first automobile of indigenous all-African technology. It was the brainchild of engineer Ezekiel Izuogu. Launched in 1997, the car caused a stir in the Nigerian media, and was touted by the then Nigerian chief of Staff General Oladipo Diya.

Design and specification 

The prototype was equipped with a self made 1.8L four cylinder engine that got 18mpg and allowed the car to achieve a top speed of 140 km/h (86 mph). Front Wheel Drive (FWD) was chosen over Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) because a transmission tunnel, which RWD would require, would be more expensive to fabricate. 90% of the car's components were made locally.

The design of the car was very utilitarian resembling a Renault 4 with its upright stance and a front end that vaguely resembles the locally assembled Peugeot 504.

To be priced at $2000 it would have been the cheapest car in the world. Clever features like a door bell used in place of a horn ensure it achieves its low price target. Mass production was planned under Izuogu motors located in Naze, Imo state, but too many financial and political hurdles prevented the car from proceeding past the prototype stage.

Current progress 

In 2005 interest from other African countries arose about the Z-600 and Dr. Izuogu was invited to South Africa to give a speech on science and technology. The South African government showed keen interest in the car and wanted Izuogu to build it in South Africa.

Optimism surrounded the car until March 11, 2006, when no fewer than 12 heavily armed men raided the factory of Izuogu Motors in Naze taking with them the molds for the engine blocks and crank shaft, mudguards, the design history notebook of Z-600, the design file; Z-MASS (containing the design history for mass production of the Z-600 car) and other components. This was a big setback for the project. Since then not much is known on the status of the car.

Internal circulation reactor. The internal circulation reactor (IC reactor) is a form of anaerobic digester. It is primarily designed to treat wastewater. The IC reactor is an evolution of the UASB and EGSB digestion systems. The digester typically produces biogas with a high concentration methane (c80%). In essence the IC to improve digestion rates and gas yields. The foot print for the IC reactor is therefore typically smaller. However, it is taller due to the increased complexity of the reactor.

The IC reactor typically comes as part of a two-stage anaerobic digestion system where it is preceded by an acidification and hydrolysis tank. Effluent leaving the IC reactor will often require aerobic treatment to reduce biochemical (BOD) and COD to discharge consent levels.
