- 2. Role of Engineering • Engineering is central to the well-being and economic development of every nation • Creative and dynamic, it evolves continuously to meet the needs of human civilisation • Engineering is pervasive in our modern society, enabling every sector from communication and entertainment to finance, healthcare and agriculture as well as its more visible applications in construction, manufacturing and transport • Progress is driven, as it has always been, by human curiosity and experimentation, but resources are finite and the art of engineering is to devise affordable solutions to problems
- 9. 3D Printing • A n a d d i t i v e m a n u f a c t u r i n g technology for making three- dimensional objects of almost any shape using a digital model • The process is computer-driven with items being built up from nothing, typically through the deposition of successive layers of materials of plastic, metal, wood, concrete, etc. • The technology is already in use in a number of sectors, most notably in prototyping and in various sectors a s d i v e r s e a s j e w e l l e r y manufacturing and aerospace industries and the number of applications is rapidly increasing
- 11. Electricity Storage (Hydrogen) • New storage technologies a@empt to store excess electrical energy produced from renewable genera1on efficiently during low consump1on periods (for re-use during peak 1mes) • Energy storage currently in ac1ve development, typically grouped into f o u r c a t e g o r i e s : e l e c t r i c a l , mechanical, thermal and chemical • Chemical storage systems, par1cularly those that produce Hydrogen via electrolysis, are considered as the most promising technology type • The stored gas can be used to drive a combus1on process to re-generate electricity or power a fuel cell, for example in a 'hydrogen car'.
