RESPONSIBLE ENGINEERING FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE

RESPONSIBLE ENGINEERING IS DRIVING SUSTAINABLE OUTCOMES BY KEEPING THE
ENVIRONMENT AND HUMANKIND AT THE FOREFRONT OF DESIGN. RS DESIGNSPARK’S NEW
“MISSION RESPONSIBLE” PODCAST CELEBRATES THIS EVOLVING AND IMPACTFUL TREND BY
SHOWCASING SOME OF THE MANY STEM PROFESSIONALS PIONEERING RESPONSIBLE
ENGINEERING PRACTICES TO CREATE A BRIGHTER FUTURE.

Responsible engineering is a rising global STEM trend. National engineering
organizations, like the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) and
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), have long abided
by codes of ethics that list “hold[ing] paramount the safety, health, and
welfare of the public” as their primary directive. IEEE takes this idea a step
further, adding that engineers should “strive to comply with ethical design and
sustainable development practices…and to disclose promptly factors that might
endanger the public or the environment.” But responsible engineering takes this
idea further still.

In response to the significant global challenges facing humanity — ranging from
the climate crisis to insufficient access to clean drinking water, nutritious
food, hygienic sanitation facilities, safe housing, and reliable energy —
Engineers Without Borders International encourages engineers around the world to
help build a just and sustainable future for both people and the planet via four
key areas of activity:

 * Delivering critical infrastructure to communities in need
 * Supporting people in crisis
 * Inspiring, building, and shaping a future fit engineering community
 * Nurturing future fit engineering solutions

The global impact of many of these environmental and humanitarian challenges is
driving sustained interest and rising action in responsible engineering. This
practice promotes keeping the environment and humankind at the forefront of
every engineering decision to bring about changes for the greater good and
places an emphasis on engineering with safe materials, reducing environmental
impacts, and updating practices to avoid harming the environment.

In light of this growing trend, RS DesignSpark’s new “Mission Responsible”
podcast series emphasizes responsible engineering’s critical role in achieving
positive change and encourages the collaboration required to build a better
future while addressing topics ranging from reducing noise pollution to building
smart cities and revolutionizing agriculture in a fun and accessible way.

The hosts, theoretical atmospheric physicist and science communicator Simon
Clark, Ph.D., and mechanical engineer, computational fluid dynamicist, and STEM
communicator Shini Somara (EngD) interview STEM experts engaged in responsible
engineering initiatives and showcase how their efforts are changing the world
for the better.


MISSION ONE: STOP BUYING, START REPAIRING

Humans produced a massive 57 million tons of e-waste in 2021. Motivated to help
find a solution to this waste problem, Simon and Shini investigate how
responsible engineering can help us reduce e-waste and fix our way to a more
sustainable future. Simon speaks with Megan Hale, CEO and co-founder of Team
Repair, which aims to reduce e-waste in the next generation by teaching kids to
fix electronics while making science, tech, and engineering fun. And Shini
visits Sophia Flucker and Ugo Vallauri at The Restart Project, which teaches
people to repair broken electronics and rethink the way they consume them in the
first place.


MISSION TWO: TOO LOUD TO THINK

Noise pollution is the second most harmful environmental health issue next to
air and water pollution, contributing to thousands of serious illnesses and
premature deaths every year. In this episode, Shini and Simon discover how
responsible engineering can help combat harmful noise pollution. Shini gains
insights from Marion Marincat, Founder and CEO of Mumbli, whose mission is to
help people work and live without the stress of excessive noise. Simon learns
about advances in sound engineering during a visit to the UCL Soundscape
Modelling Lab, where he discusses noise reduction with Dr. Tin Oberman and
Andrew Mitchell, who research how sound proliferates in urban areas, buildings,
and rooms.




MISSION THREE: DECODING THE INTERNET OF SKILLS

Advances in networks, robotics, virtual reality (VR), and haptics could enable
humans to go beyond current physical boundaries via the Internet of Skills
(IOS), which is the application of technology to transfer knowledge, expertise,
and skills synchronously over distances. In this episode, Simon and Shini
explore responsible engineering’s role in powering the IOS. Simon gleans
valuable insights by chatting with Mischa Dohler, VP of Emerging Technologies at
Ericsson, the mastermind behind the IOS who’s also pioneering cutting-edge
technology like sixth-generation wireless (6G). Meanwhile, Shini visits Shadow
Robot, a company at the forefront of innovations in teleoperation technologies,
and speaks with Kacper Rozanski and Rich Walker, who are developing advanced
robot dexterity integral to actualizing the IOS.


MISSION FOUR: WORKING SMART AND LIVING SUSTAINABLY

Over half the world’s population lives in cities. This number is expected to
reach seven billion by 2050, and cities already account for over 70% of global
CO2 emissions. So, rethinking approaches to city design is critical to ensuring
a sustainable future. That’s why Shini and Simon explore how responsible
engineering can help build sustainable cities of the future. Shini interviews
Sam Ross, principal investigator at Nexus Aurora, who’s researching permanent
human space settlement and discusses the long-term future of humanity in space.
Simon visits one of the world’s smartest office buildings, Southworks London,
where he speaks with Liam Dillon and Frankie Attard about its ability to adapt
to inhabitants, allowing them to create optimal working environments




MISSION FIVE: CLEANING UP THE SKIES & SPACE

Travel accounts for one-fifth of global CO2 emissions, and space research has
put almost eight thousand tons of waste into Earth’s orbit. To understand these
aerial issues and how scientists are solving them, Shini and Simon learn how
responsible engineering aids in cleaning up the skies and space. Simon speaks
with Luisa Innocenti, Head of the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Clean Space
initiative to learn more about their mission to decrease the volume of space
debris in Earth’s orbit. Meanwhile, Shini discusses sustainable travel with the
team developing the first fully-hydrogen-certified plane at Cranfield Aerospace
Solutions and speaks to Robert Marsh and Jenny Kavanagh about its implications
for innovation in travel


MISSION SIX: HUNGRY TO INNOVATE

According to Professor Susan Jebb at the University of Oxford, “We cannot meet
net-zero emission targets without changing our diet.” To learn how responsible
engineering can help grow food sustainably and reach these net-zero emission
targets, Shini interviews Brittany Sambol, VP of Operations at Wildtype, who
creates sushi-grade salmon through cell cultivation. Simon visits with India
Langley and Jack Farmer of Lett Us Grow to learn about harnessing aeroponic
technology that allows plants to grow faster and uses fewer resources — all with
zero pesticides.



Responsible engineering is emerging as a driving force among STEM disciplines.
Since this approach keeps the environment and humankind at the forefront of
every engineering decision, it will be key to solving issues of global
prominence, like food and water scarcity and pollution, as well as reinventing
both the materials and processes we use to design the world around us. RS
DesignSpark’s new “Mission Responsible” podcast celebrates this evolving and
impactful trend by showcasing some of the many STEM professionals pioneering
responsible engineering practices to create a brighter future. For more
information about responsible engineering and its impact, check out the RS
DesignSpark articles written by Engineers Without Borders, including
“Engineering Change: Engineers Have Great Power” and “Inspiring Globally
Responsible Engineering.” To get involved with responsible engineering, check
out RS DesignSpark’s #ActivistEngineering initiative, which encourages engineers
to develop solutions that enhance people’s lives and share that knowledge with
peers and future engineers, or participate in this free, self-paced, online
course that will teach and help you apply responsible engineering skills.
