Engineers Making a Difference: Inventors, Technicians, Scientists and Tech Entrepreneurs Changing the World, and How You Can Join Them

Product Information

This review was written by Stephen Dilley Stephen Dilley is head of English at a secondary school in Reading, having previously taught in four other secondary schools over the last 15 years. By predicting the behaviour of air around aircraft wings, Formula1 cars and buildings, (for example), CFD can help engineers optimise engineering design. As someone who did not have the option of engineering apprenticeships when I was choosing next steps at school, I also appreciated Somara’s decision to include the nuclear apprentice and others like them.

The book, released just days before International Women's Day, was penned by Dr Shini Somara, a mechanical engineer who is also a mentor at Imperial College London and a media broadcaster. Dr Somara acknowledges that not everyone has an engineering family member or hero to aspire to, but hopes that people like Beth, along with the other 45 incredible and diverse individuals in the book may do just that by showing the real difference they are making in the world.By studying how light interacts with these innovative materials, Giuliana's work could transform the digital devices we know today. This book will be of particular interest to children who already have an interest in pursuing STEM careers as it shows the variety of areas in which they could work and the pathways they could follow to get there.

Some exciting video case studies featuring 15 of the engineers profiled in the book are also available on www.From audiences of curious schoolchildren to enthusiastic science teachers and concerned parents, I have experimented with different methods of communication and kept a keen eye on what others like me were doing. His work contains limited palettes, clean geometric shapes and exacting lines and has featured in museum exhibit displays around the UK, such as the Science and Media Museum. The book is aimed at 12–15-year-olds in secondary school who are considering their future educational and career choices.

Alumna Dr Giuliana Di Martino (PhD Physics 2014) is a renowned expert in low-power, sustainable electronic devices.If readers have imaginations, curiosity and a drive to solve problems, perhaps a branch of engineering is for them. As the title suggests, Somara is keen to demonstrate the many ways in which engineers make the world a better place, whether tackling climate change, building flood defences, creating prosthetic limbs or improving the lives of the underprivileged.
