Engineering and Technology

'The solution to many of the problems of the next century will be delivered through engineering and the physical sciences', says Professor Richard Brook, Chief Executive of Britain's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. 'The energy problems will return. The environment is going to be even more taxed.' As well as being central to fields such as the recycling of wastes, engineers are becoming increasingly involved in surgery and medicine, and with the living world, through research into the valuable engineering properties of living materials.
