As long as there is coal - Decision makers, People to meet: Scientists, engineers and industrialists. Programmes to Clean-up
As long as there is coal - it is a safe bet that it will be used. In the light of current best knowledge of impact on climate change, (many posts on these pages) the question then becomes how best to proceed.
The upcoming pan European Union conference, Coal-gen-europe.com , will be the latest attempt address the multi-faceted issues involved in order to achieve the near impossible dream of clean coal.
As announced above "as long as there is coal -..... A further step in the proper direction will be taken thanks to the above meeting. It will prove to be an indispensable stopping place on the very necessary road to a much improved cleaner coal life cycle from from mine to energy & its infamous greenhouse gas CO2. Delegates from all sectors will meet and exchange knowledge opinions and intentions as to future events (road or better rail maps) This is the place for our high temperature materials scientists to polish their R & D plans, for Steel and Ceramic producers to gear-up their production offer. All industrial aspects are on the agenda.

Metallic Glasses - Amorphous Metallic Alloys _New Video posted to my Materials Science wall -
Metallic glass, amorphous alloy energy storage and restitution is compared to a traditional crystalline alloy by dropping a steel ball bearing similtaneously on each type of alloy.
The experimental demonstration is shown in an entertaining way in the video just added to my video wall - widget above. In fact this video is also a window to 16 others. So stay tuned and watch all 17 demos.
An excellent souce of ideas for the innovator.
A full description from the basic ideas which differentiate metals from glasses through to some of the most recent research on metallic glasses, are described in simple terms for the general reader as well as the material scientist.
Aspects such as corrosion resistance, strength, toughness and energy storage are described in quite simple terms for the general public, and the technical minded in the article entitled
When-cleavage-is-a-bad-thing

Engineering Courses in Ontario Canada options and degree courses in Metallurgy and Metallurgical Transformation
Let me give readers another perspective and highly successful approach to Engineering. Engineering Courses in Ontario Canada brought my attention to Conestoga Community College a most fruitful window on education and employment in Ontario, Canada.
Conestoga is a young University and Polytechnic with an enviable record:
-Since it's inauguration in 1967, it has been rated N°1 College in Ontario for nine of the last eleven years.
-Graduate job placement rate is 94.2% six months after graduation.
-Conestoga is an outstanding Polytechnical Institute and a founding member of Polytechnics Canada
-Full-time Students: 8,500 - Apprenticeship Students: 4,000 - Part-time Students: 38,000
-40% of all adults in Waterloo Region have taken at least one course at Conestoga.
-Conestoga graduates annually inject $1.4 billion into the local economy.
-It offers 120 full-time programs, 37 apprenticeship related programs, 7 four-year bachelor degree programs, 3 collaborative degrees, 25 post-graduate certificates and over 100 part-time programs.
-Conestoga has six campuses: Doon (Kitchener), Waterloo, Guelph, Stratford, Cambridge and Ingersoll.
-Conestoga’s loan default rate is the lowest in the province at 6.8%. We attribute this, at least partially, to the fact so many of our students get excellent jobs after graduation! Last year Conestoga provided $20 million in student loans.
AIMS
-To champion innovation and excellence in education and training.
-To serve responsibly the diverse and ever-changing needs of the community.
-To inspire students and employees to strive toward their highest potential.
METALLURGY and MECHANICAL PROCESS ENGINEERING
-Powder Metallurgy.
-Welding
-BSc in Applied Mechanical Systems-extrusion, wire and bar drawing, sheet metal working, powder metallurgy
-MSc and BSc degrees conferred[Pdf]
