The Infrastructure Podcast reposted this
It’s manifesto week – which means there’s still another three and a half weeks until the General Election. Yet sadly it’s unlikely we’ll hear much from any of the major parties about the power of engineering when it comes to transforming the UK. So why is that? And does it matter? Well, Sir Jim McDonald, president of the Royal Academy of Engineering and one of the UK’s foremost professional engineers joins me on The Infrastructure Podcast this week to discuss this issues – and he reckons that, while amplification is of course still needed, engineers’ voices are now being heard – and acted upon - in the corridors of power and policy. So if you want to hear more about where the power of professional engineering is landing when it comes to driving big issues facing society – or if you just want a 30 minute break from wall-to-wall Election coverage - have a listen at https://lnkd.in/euWQHA9m . #infrastructure #podcast #energy #design #decarbonisation #leadership #transformation #relationships #Governance University of Strathclyde Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
