Now, more than ever, engineers are required to apply their scientific knowledge to the manifold challenges facing the world. These interventions must be achieved in a way that conserves and enhances the environments and populations affected by these interventions. The underlying of philosophy STAM is that advanced manufacturing technologies lie at the heart of the intersection between Engineering, Energy and the Environment (E3).
Developments of manufacturing technologies increasingly determine and underpin many of the significant advancements in our society. They enable biomedical, aerospace, automotive, energy and ICT technologies, to name a few. Accordingly, research and development in advanced manufacturing is ever more a result of collaboration in these areas. STAM grew out of recognising these factors, and is an industry facing research group, focused on acting and engaging with sectors depending on advanced manufacturing.
