Thursday 21st March 2013, Docklands Campus
A fantastic turn out for two fantastic speakers. Over 100 Alumni, Current Students and Staff attended The School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering Alumni Event on Thursday 21st March 2013, titled “Architecture, Computing and Engineering are the thrust for the British economy” What are the skills needed to boost the sector for the next 10 years?
The audience were treated to two exciting speakers, firsty Dr Ken Shuttleworth founder of Make Architects and a former partner at Foster and Partners. Set up in 2004, Make is a creative and imaginative architectural studio dedicated to designing buildings and places which are as striking and innovative as they are socially, economically and environmentally responsible. Recently completed projects include the Handball Arena for the London 2012 Olympics, the Montpellier Chapter hotel in Cheltenham, the Gateway Building for The University of Nottingham The Cube in Birmingham and an office refurbishment for HSBC Private Bank in Geneva.
Secondly, Paula Walsh Director of the world renowned international multi-disciplinary design and engineering consultancy Arup. Paula leads one of the Building Engineering Groups in London and specialises in the design of offices, residential and mixed use projects, including tall buildings.
Arup was founded in 1946 with an initial focus on structural engineering and first came to the world’s attention with the structural design of the Sydney Opera House and subsequently the Pompidou Centre, Paris. Arup is owned in trust on behalf of its staff and the result is an independence of spirit that is reflected in the firm’s work. It is this dedicated pursuit of technical excellence whilst delivering innovative and sustainable designs that continue to make such a tremendous contribution to the built environment.
The pair combined their presentations and really engaged the audience, with their thoughs and views on the topic at hand. A great night was had by all!

He also previously worked at Birkbeck College, University of London for 19 years after completing his PhD at the MRC/ESRC Social and Applied Psychology Unit (now the institute of Work Psychology).

Pippa Dell, Field Leader: Psychology kicked of the night with an update on the School including a reminder that 2012 celebrated fifty years of psychology at UEL and its predecessor institutions.
Pippa was followed by Wendy Jackson, Wendy graduated from UEL in 2005, where she studied Marketing & Psychology. She now enjoys running her own no nonsense consultancy called Bite sized Marketing and attributes the fact that it is still going in these turbulent times to what she learnt at UEL.
Wendy really inspired the audience, especially with her game of fishing to demonstrate how hard it is for businesses to get customers in the current market place.
Next up was Patapia Tzotzoli, also a UEL Graduate, Patapia is the founder of a start-up company, called iConcipio Ltd. The company was set up last year after she won the Best Pitch Prize in the King’s College London’s Graduate Business Plan Competition. iConcipio Ltd is an e-learning support provider based on web technology solutions. Patapia demonstrated its up and coming service an online support system which addresses the well being and educational needs of Higher Education students.
After the main speakers where finished the attendees split into two workshops to discuss their business ideas.
And finally the night draw to conclusion over a buffet and networking session! The night was a great success and the Alumni Team are already looking forward to next years Psychology event!
