I design medical devices, and these can help people in many different ways. At the moment I am developing a incubator for poorly babies who need help staying warm so that they can focus their energy on growing and getting better. Sometimes an incubator can even save a baby’s life!

Together with students in my lab, we try to come up with new ways to make alternative fuels, using greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from the air and the help of renewable electricity from wind and sunlight. If we can develop solutions that work on a large scale, we will be able to actually reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that end up in the atmosphere. This is an important part of combating climate change, something that affects everyone’s lives around the world. I also teach chemical engineering, so that students can go on to tackle many different kinds of problems after they graduate!

The products I design and develop help people build bigger and better things that serve everybody in the world. We connect machines together with a mechanical coupling, and those machines could not work without our products. Those machines get better everyday, so we also need to make our products better and develop new and sophisticated technologies. Everything you see around you contains chemicals, and those chemicals could not be processed without our work. We have a very improtant job to do, and although it is very big , our impact is usually indirect. Doctors and Teacher work with the people, but we develop the technology and the machines they all need to do their work better.

I work for Sky and my team, alongside many other teams are developing an app that will be used by Sky customers and people who work in Sky shops. The app will allow people to see what Sky products there are like TV, Broadband (Wifi) and Mobile and then order these. We are always trying to make things easy and enjoyable for our customers and we hope that this will be the case with the new app.

I try to reduce the carbon emissions from the estate and make things more efficient so that its a better place to work day to day but also limits the impacts of climate change by reducing the amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere.

my job is to work in the team keeping the gas supplies to the UK online, so that your homes can have heating and cooking (if you have a gas cooker!). This is a very quick and direct impact on people’s lives, but there are wider impacts i have to think about, like cutting back emissions to the environment from our machines, and reducing our impact on global warming.

I like this question… well… I work for a company that produces parts and assemblies that are seen in almost everything we work with today. I could write a long list but I’ll summarize by saying planes, trains, cars and space-craft to computers, phones, medical devices and sensors. I work mainly in the aerospace world so my job supports peoples ability to travel around the world to do whatever they need to do – holidays are good reason.

I design medical devices for treating brain conditions for my job, so it’s really easy to see how this helps improve peoples lives. I love being able to see the impact that my work has on peoples every day lives.

Hi leemar. I design foundations for many different types of buildings (structures).
The structures I design foundations for are varied (shopping centres, residential tower blocks, office complexes, water treatment works, water storage dams, railway stations, university buildings, hospitals, metro and railway tunnels, airports, power stations).
I also design grouting repair projects for structures, such as reservoir dams, which store drinking water.
I also design compensation grouting arrays, the current project I am working on for High Speed 2 (HS2). Compensation grouting arrays, are used to help reduce the impact of settlements which occur due to underground tunnelling projects.
If I and my team do our jobs to the best of our abilities, during the construction of the new tunnels for a part of the HS2 project in London, you should not see any negative impact as a result of the tunnelling being done under the existing surface railway infrastructure. At the end of the construction phase, once the tunnelling works are all finished, you should see the finished structures and they should remain standing and safe to use for a lifetime anything up to 120 years or more!
With some civil engineering structures, such as one of the most famous, being the Pyramids of Giza, in Egypt, they have stood standing (even if a little bit worse for wear – some erosion of the surfaces) for thousands of years!
So that can be the dramatic impact of very large Civil Engineering structures, they become wonders of the world!

We make the plastics that go into practically all of the European made cars, so without my plant there would not be many cars available!
