In an attempt to tackle the social aspect of the challenge, we felt it would be important to get the community more involved in global responsibility by encouraging them to do their part in making our planet a better place through recycling. Plastic and paper are among the most common items, constan

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

D22-013 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

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

Our concept is to develop a community-driven online service to facilitate the re-use of viable excess construction materials that would otherwise go to landfill. The Problem: The construction industry produces a substantial amount of waste; 13% of all products that are sent to construction si

'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

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

#entrepreneurship #sustsustainability The development of wireless technology has facilitated the wide deployment of mobile communication systems. However, studies suggest that as climate change could affect energy production, it can also undermine telecommunications development which requires incre

Idea Climate change disaster aid map Purpose With the increase of natural disasters due to climate change, this map aims to predict what aid will be needed before the disaster happens so that the aid is already in place. • Coordinate aid • Help communities be resilient to natural disasters/ redu

Our idea is to combine the creativity and innovation of young people with the expertise and technical skills of industry professionals. We propose a mutually beneficial collaboration between these two groups which will provide young people with a realistic insight into the engineering industry as we

Engineering. What do we associate it with today? With big corporations, bureaucracy, lack of accessibility? We do not have to keep this as the status quo. Imagine a platform for engineers addressing these problems; a platform for a kid who does not have access to resources yet is immense

What You Make Of It Make no mistake, today’s engineers are ready to innovate. The engineering sector is constantly exploring ways in which to produce more responsible design, however, through the difficulties of worldwide economic inequality and the influence of big business, these ambitions are r

In 2020, statistics show that out of the 51% of the global population who use social media, the average user spends 145 minutes every day scrolling. Considering most of these users are assumed to be: between the ages 13 – 60; have relatively consumerist lifestyles; and live in urban areas (high emi

#personalpower #carbonfootprint #environment #sustainability The scale of the environmental effect of global warming is complex and vast. It can seem ominous to the average person, and produce a sense of helplessness. Solving the issues require long-term commitment to changes in how each of us th

The problem being addressed; The world generates 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste annually and at least 33% of that is not managed in an environmentally safe manner. Global waste arising from electrical and electronic equipment alone increased from 33.8 to 49.8 tonnes between 2010 and 2

Within the engineering practice there has been an increasing focus on the environmental impact of new buildings, with the construction sector contributing to a massive 38% of the total global emissions (in 2019). This has led to the introduction of LEED and BREEAM certification to ensure these build

Understandably, due to high research and development costs and market factors, an innovative medical device almost always carries a high premium price. This causes the equipment to be unattainable to many who are impoverished and live in rural areas, widening the gap of the discrepancy between the c

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

The Problem Most of the developing countries suffer energy shortages of many sorts. In relation to poverty, women’s health and climate change, the biggest crisis facing these countries is the basic need for fuel for cooking and clean water for drinking. Wood, of is also cut for construction. On top
