QEPrize launches podcast to explore engineering and its impact

THE Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering QEPrize has launched a new podcast series, Create the Future, which explores the skill, creativity, and innovation that comprises engineering, and highlights how engineers impact everyday lives. Engineering is everywhere, said the QEPrize press release about the launch. From nanotechnology and the Internet of Things to autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and even your morning cup of coffee – engineering shapes the world around us. Engineers launched us forward from our first use of tools to an era of space exploration, and they will play a central role in solving the challenges of our future. Launched on 16 July, Create the Future is hosted by Sue Nelson and brings together the knowledge, experience, and ideas of industry experts and young engineers. Nelson is a multi-award-winning radio producer and science journalist, and a former BBC science and environment correspondent.
