Empirical experience is indispensable for the engineer. In a 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 theoretical. Ho

The Problem The construction industry still uses antiquated paper-based systems to track goods, leading to around 60% of materials being incorrectly input (1). Over-ordering is also common-place to ensure sufficient supply. Consequently, on average 13% of all materials delivered to a construction si

Education is an essential tool and factor in addressing the ongoing critical issues regarding implementing sustainable development values and making the engineering sector more globally responsible in the fight against global challenges on the planet we inhabit. We believe that the knowledge and awa

The greatest issues facing modern engineering today are a lack of access and the subsequent lack of collaboration between those from different backgrounds. This is compounded by the scarcity of opportunities for young engineers to contribute to large-scale projects. Engineering can only progress wit

500 word description: Understandably, due to high research and development costs, the expense of clinical trials and market factors, an innovative medical device always carries a high premium price.This causes the equipment to be unattainable to many who are impoverished living in rural areas. The

To tackle the problem of making the engineering industry more globally responsible, we chose to look from the perspective of Reshaping Practice . Our concept is UNITE, a card game to improve the current practices in the workplace. Our goal is to unite people in a company so they can value and appre

Engineering practices within the building industry have shifted their focus to the impact that their buildings have on the environment. This has led to the introduction of certification processes such as LEED and BREEAM, which ensure that a building is focused on being as sustainable as possible, ho

What You Make of It aims to reconsider this position and proposes a way to enable engineers to connect with communities and apply their knowledge and help redefine lives for the better through micro-volunteering. It brings engineers from around the world in various fields to a platform to solve comp

Purpose This campaign has been designed in order to educate current engineers to the same level that students in engineering are at in terms of social responsibility. Steps In order to carry this out we have created a set of 3 steps that will be used: Education Ethical Toolkit Certification

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 required before the disaster occurs so that the aid is already in place. Coordinate aid Help communities be resilient to natural disasters/ reduce s
