About the Millisecond Zone
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. Ten milliseconds are called a centisecond, and 100 milliseconds are a decisecond. A typical flash strobe in a camera takes one millisecond to finish, a honeybee’s wing flap takes five milliseconds, and a human eye takes 300 to 400 milliseconds.
This is a general engineering zone, where you will meet six engineers all working in different areas. One engineer is finding out how to crush rocks in machines using less energy, one works on a construction site advising where to build structures and one works in submarine communications. There is an engineer inventing monitoring devices to help make horses happier, another working in IT writing code for the public cloud, and another helping business to try new technologies on the roads.
