Who should join a CES Selector web seminar?

Any materials scientist, engineer, or designer - find out about the standard software for rational materials selection, based on the pioneering work of Professor Mike Ashby at Cambridge University. See a case study that demonstrates the value of CES Selector in improving the quality, consistency, and efficiency of materials decisions, and in helping you to present and justify your recommendations.

Current CES Selector users - find out what's new. Make sure that you benefit from great new features like the graphical Performance Index Finder (pictured), which slashes the time required to set up a selection project, and the Eco Audit Tool - an innovative eco design capability.

A new graphical tool makes it much easier to specifiy design objectives in CES Selector 2008

Past CES Selector users - if you have not tried the software recently, now is the time to take another look! Find out about major enhancements, made based on extensive user feedback, that mean CES Selector 2008 is much more productive and powerful for analysis and design.

What will you learn?

  • Why rational materials selection is important for high quality, repeatable, auditable, consistent decision-making

  • What can prevent rational materials selection, and how CES Selector overcomes these barriers

  • How CES Selector works in practice - see it in a case study demonstration

  • What's new in CES Selector and why it matters - enhancements include: a quick and simple method to specify design objectives; a new Eco Audit Tool, enabling eco design; new capabilities for cost analysis; further plastic selection options; and extended coverage of medical materials.
