Our book author, Shini, has interviewed even more of the incredible engineers featured in Engineers Making a Difference. She goes on to say: “Everyone has different skills and expertise, but we are all passionate about finding solutions. There were some amazing innovations here, such as transforming carbon dioxide into clothing and using chicken feathers to create packaging, and it is always great to read books for children which focus on climate solutions rather than just the climate crisis. Authored by Dr Shini Somara, the fully illustrated book comprises role model profiles from across the engineering industry, with 12 chapters ranging from the environment to robots, and from communications to entertainment.

Every day in the UK, two women lose their lives to cervical cancer, and nine receive a life-changing diagnosis. From battling the impacts of climate change to unlocking the mysteries of fusion energy, the inventors, technicians, scientists and tech entrepreneurs featured in Engineers Making a Difference are part of the exciting and diverse world of engineering. Adam has authored and illustrated two non-fiction titles; An Illustrated History of Filmmaking and An Illustrated History of UFOs, the former now translated in over 6 languages. The book, released just days before International Women's Day, was penned by Dr Shini Somara, a mechanical engineer who is also a mentor at Imperial College London and a media broadcaster. Adam Allsuch Boardman isan illustrator based in Leeds, UK who constructs imagery to inform and amuse in a clear and concise manner.A school kit will be sent free of charge to every secondary school in the UK in Spring 2023, comprising of two copies of the print book (one for classroom use and one for the school’s library), an educator’s guide which aligns with the national curriculum, a laminated timeline for classrooms, illustrating engineering feats that have shaped the world over time and 12 posters for use in the classroom, showing fun topics about each chapter in the book. By predicting the behaviour of air around aircraft wings, Formula1 cars and buildings, (for example), CFD can help engineers optimise engineering design. The engineers in this book demonstrate that no matter their background, skills and interests, there continues to be so much opportunity for them in this exciting profession. These free school kits contain two copies of the book, a Teacher’s Guide, 12 hot topic posters, and a 4-metre-long timeline wall chart. As part of your school kit, you will have received a Teacher’s Guide, a series of hot topics posters and a timeline wall chart.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.It was great to see a high representation of engineers in the book who took this route, many highlighting the benefits of more hands-on learning, and simultaneously working and studying. I am excited about this book because I believe it will help young people make this decision by giving them the key information they need to know about different jobs, and by enabling them to relate to people already successfully doing them. The project also highlights the College’s ongoing commitment to widening participation in higher education. In addition to the printed resources, a series of 15 case study videos have been produced, allowing readers to get a glimpse into the engineers’ everyday lives and learn how they’re making an impact through their work.
