#DiscoverEngineering News during AEW

Engineers are one of the top five most trusted professions in Australia, and for good reason; they make ideas come to life – developing new materials and machinery, designing and constructing infrastructure, and creating technology for a sustainable future.

From gadgets such as GPS unit in your car and the smartphone that keeps you connected, to lifesaving technology like pacemakers and airbags, right through to space vehicles and theme park rides, engineering plays a bigger part in our lives than most people realise.

Australian Engineering Week (AEW) celebrates the achievements of world class engineering.  Read these amazing articles on engineering and where it can take you:

• A type of seaweed has been engineered as a super-food and tastes like bacon
• Engineers in Perth have developed The Hadrian Robot. This robot can work approximately 20 times faster than a human, and lay up to 1000 bricks per hour in order to build a full-sized house in two days.
• The world’s first 3D-printed supercar goes from 0 to 60km/hr in 2 seconds!
• The next MacGyver could be a female engineer - over 2000 aspiring screenwriters entered a script competition to create role models and inspirations for women in engineering.
• A laser sensor has been engineered to end the discomfort for diabetics pricking their fingers to measure blood glucose levels
