What kind of movies appeal to engineers? That’s a good question. You have to think about what kind of people engineers (generally) are – problem solvers, innovators, logical thinkers, action takers. Then it becomes pretty obvious. We like films about engineering. Maybe some maths. Sci-fi elements perhaps? And of course, plenty of good old-fashioned action. 

Engineers are known for pushing the boundaries of scientific invention and exploration, and leading humanity down the road towards great achievements. However, every now and then, they prove they're only human like the rest of us, making serious blunders. 

Residential homes and buildings remain some of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gases. A study published in the Climate Policy Info Hub details how European households are responsible for one quarter of both greenhouse gas emissions and total energy consumption in the building sector. 

The definition of sustainability is the ability to sustain change in a balanced way. It’s most commonly applied to keeping a harmony between the earth’s resources and our material needs. It’s a way of ensuring that the human race doesn’t exploit the environment and ecology of our planet into a state of irreversible decline. It also covers economic and social issues, and the development of systems and processes that enable future generations to continue meeting their material needs, without destroying the ecosystem. This is also sometimes referred to as sustainable development.

3D printing is a technology that has become almost mainstream and is well known to even the casual technology junkie. For the uninitiated, a 3D printer basically works by depositing layers of material to create a component from nothing. This is counter to existing CNC machining, where the process is subtractive in nature and a part is carved out of an existing block of material.

Electrical engineering stands as one of the most applicable professions across a wide spectrum of industries. An electrical engineer is capable of studying and applying principles of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism to make technology act the way we want and expect it to.
