    Team D22-005: Repurposing Workshop Waste

    Empirical experience is indispensable for the engineer. In an eventual bid to solve the world’s problems, a considerable slice of formative engineering education occurs in the workshop, affording students the opportunity to leverage conceptual knowledge and materialise what was hitherto purely theor

    D22-016 Notes-A map of everything

    D22-013 Since the age of Albert Einstein, physicists have been looking for a theory of everything. The goal of uniting all the physics principles and fields has always been chasing. Inspired by this idea and observing the reality, we can easily find that not only in physics, but there are also stron

    PROGRAMMABLE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS D22-029

    We decided as a group to design a water desalination solar powered system to fight water scarcity and provide clean water and safe drinking water for communities. Therefore we decided to use a solar powered system since it doesn't contaminate the environment and requires less skilled labour for inst

    'Veganism is the single biggest way to reduce our environmental impact'. In 2020 an oxford study found that becoming vegan can reduce an individual's carbon footprint from food by up to 73 percent. Our proposal involves encouraging people to make the change towards plant-based eating. Here are some

    Team D22-010: Re-Tooling Sustainability

    There are many campaigns that focus on educating the next generation about the importance of the climate crisis, however, the responsibility should not be solely on those coming next. The longer the issue is pushed back, the worse it will get. It is the duty of engineers working now to consider the

    To best catalyse global change, engineering innovations have to be people-centred and impact driven - like EWB UK building flood defences in rural Kenya or designing low-cost water filters in Mexico. However, modern-day engineering is fast diverging from this ethos, focusing on profits not people: o
