How engineering solves scientific questions

We often hear about the biggest challenges posed by modern science. How can we make fusion a viable power source? How can we supercool a quantum computer? How can we build trust into an AI system?

The role of answering these questions falls to engineers. But often, engineering is overlooked or misunderstood. So how does this process work, and how does it impact our lives?

Join mechanical engineer and broadcaster Shini Somara as she demystifies the role that engineers play in the ecosystem of innovation. She’ll explain how engineers are finding practical solutions to everything from the biggest problems in nuclear physics, through to underappreciated breakthroughs in household plumbing, and digs down into the engineering process to celebrate how scientists and engineers collaborate to solve the problems of the future.
