PP2: Discipline overview
Pair Exercise:
Look around the classroom and try to identify items that you think were created by engineers. How have these objects changed or improved over time?
Explain:
Anywhere we look we can find engineering examples so it’s not surprising that engineers work in lots of different places. There are many different types of engineers and the variety of the job as an engineer is very exciting. We are now going to have a look together at different types of engineers.
Civil, structural and environmental engineers design and construct the buildings and infrastructure that are essential to modern society.
Biomedical engineers develop technologies and equipment to help save people’s lives and improve their health.
Ask:
Imagine you’re an engineer. What would your transport solution be for your nearest city?
