The AGM & President's EveningThe Association's AGM takes place in May, in the Sherfield Building at Imperial College. The proceedings include the retiring President's report on the past year and the election of the committee for the year ahead. The new President then oversees the rest of the evening. Following the AGM and a brief ceremony giving recognition to student Colours winners, a guest speaker is introduced. The talk may be engineering-orientated but could be anything with broad appeal. Drinks in the Council Room, 170 Queen's Gate and an informal buffet supper complete the evening. 2010 AGM & President's EveningProfessor Chris Hankin, our President for 2010-11, invites you to the Association's 2010 AGM, and looks forward to introducing you to his guest speaker, Professor Steve Furber CBE FRS FREng FBCS FIET CITP CEng, ICL Professor of Computer Engineering in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. The event will commence at 5pm with Tea in the Concourse Area, Level 5, Sherfield Building. The AGM follows at 5.30pm in the Read Lecture Theatre, and this will be followed by Professor Furber’s talk, entitled “The Relentless March of the Microchip”. From 1980 to 1990 Steve Furber worked in the hardware development group within the R&D department at Acorn Computers Ltd, and was a principal designer of the BBC Microcomputer and the ARM 32-bit RISC microprocessor. Upon moving to the University of Manchester in 1990 he established the Amulet research group which has interests in asynchronous logic design and power-efficient computing, and which merged with the Parallel Architectures and Languages group in 2000 to form the Advanced Processor Technologies group. In 2003 he was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal for "an outstanding and demonstrated personal contribution to British engineering, which has led to market exploitation", and was awarded a CBE in the 2008 New Year Honours list "for services to computer science". There is no charge for the AGM or for the talk, however, those who wish may stay for supper afterwards, in the Queen’s Tower Rooms on the Ground Floor of Sherfield Building. The cost for Supper will be £27.50, including drinks (£17.50 for current students).
