  Season 5 Special Episode: 9% Is Not Enough - Exploring the Intersectionality of Race & Careers in Engineering during BHM

  Oct 31, 20241h 17mS5

  <p>This episode features a conversation that explores the intersectionality of race, careers in engineering and joy. These are big topics on their own and become highly amplified and sometimes harmful, when one’s self-identities and protected characteristics intertwine.  Today, we’re going to approach them with care and mindful intention as these are themes that we don’t often get to share in this way.

Or not! At least not in the way that tesla imagines it, just yet.</p> <p></p> <p>But the reality of service robots isn’t totally out of our reach. Intelligent machines designed to perform useful tasks for humans are now rapidly transforming the world, by automating chores and providing assistance in a variety of set...

  Season 5 Episode 7: Mechanics of the Microscopic - Engineering in Quantum Technologies

  Oct 4, 202452 minS5

  <p>The world of quantum technology is not some science fiction flight of fantasy, it is an exciting field of science which is turning into a rapidly growing engineering sector. You might not know it but you can already buy quantum-dot TVs and mobile phones with quantum-enhanced encryption. Quantum technologies are poised to expand the realm of engineering in ways that were unthinkable until just a decade ago.</p> <p> </p> <p>     </p> <p>Dr Elizabeth Eso aligning an optical system to experimentally demonstrate a time-bin quantum key distribution system.
