Putting the E word into engagement
Join us for a day of
discussions, networking and drinks as we debate the
challenges and successes of good engagement with
engineering. We will be
exploring why engineering engagement is important,
if it is different to science engagement and the
ways we can make it happen. The event will feature
talks from Ingenious projects and a keynote
speech from UCL Professor Mark Miodownik, who gave
the 2010 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures and
recently presented a BBC TV series on materials
science, How It Works.
