The IET's Technical and Professional Networks (TPNs) cover a wide range of areas - from aerospace to robotics to healthcare technologies.



TPNs are made up of senior engineers and technologists as well as academics and are crucial to the IET's strategy of producing expert technical content that is relevant to the engineering community.



Much of this sharing of knowledge takes place at physical events organised by the TPNs. These can be global conferences with hundreds of delegates to small very focused seminars with only a handful of participants in the audience. And most of the events are free of charge. To find the TPN that suits your interests please go to our TPN index page.



A new innovation for our TPNs is the IET TechBite series. These are bitesize technical insight documents coming out of the TPN events on particularly hot topics. They provide a short overview of the area with the help of key experts and also include links to other IET related resources. The first TechBite produced was by the Healthcare Technologies TPN and was on the subject of The Future of Medicine.



The second TechBite has just been produced. Its by the Control and Automation TPN and is on the ever growing area of Autonomous Vehicles. We hear from three key experts and their insights into this exciting area of engineering.
