The UK should hold engineers in higher esteem

Professor Elena Rodriguez-Falcon, Director of Women in Engineering at the University of Sheffield was recently interviewed by John Yates for Discover magazine.  In this article she shares her thoughts about the perception of engineers in the UK.

  “We have two very big problems. The first is a misunderstanding of what engineering is about, and the role it plays in improving the quality of all our lives. And the second is the perception that engineering is overwhelmingly a male preserve."

It's physics that makes your body work...

Maryam Shariatzadeh, PhD student at the Department of Mechanical Engineering
