  • Ep 11: Father's Day Gifts, Transform into an Exoskeleton and Conscripted Olympics

    A chat by Engineers over a Beer.


    Father's Day is just around the corner and this year, you can really surprise your techy Dad with these extraordinary gifts spoken by the Engineering Dads. If you've ever wanted to grow a third arm, third leg or just be able to have more moving body parts, then you're in the right place. We discuss the idea of exoskeletons and how the rapidly growing technological age could see their uses come into fruition. Anyway, forget about gadgets and extra body parts for now, how cool was the Olympics this year right? Could you imagine what it would be like if it weren't glorious athletes competing every time? Think of it like conscription, you receive a letter in the mail one day saying "Congratulations. You've been picked to compete in gymnastics this year".

  • Ep 10: What If?

    Engineering chatting while drinking a beer, the new definition of informatively stupid


    In this weeks episode, we ask "What If?". How would the world look like without magnets or condoms, or if gravity was half its current acceleration? Interesting questions met with silly answers.


    The engineering Dads motto is simple, if it looks stupid but it works it isn't stupid. Our podcast is just the general chat that we have outside of projects and building and an opportunity to share the view of the world from the eyes of young engineers.

  • Ep 5: Would You Rather - Engineers Editition

    Today, the fellas sit down and ask each other some interesting and technical, 'would you rather?' questions.


    Sean's keen to break down if it costs more to boil a litre of water or pour a litre of fresh tap water.


    James brings some nostalgia to the table, as he reminds the boys of how the game Keno, helped invent the bond that formed the Engineering Dads collective.


    Paddy throws tough situations to the group, encouraging the boys to use both ethical and technical principles to unravel the most appropriate decisions.

  • Ep 4: Rocket Beer Pong, the Art of Waterproofing and Keeping Cars Away from the Lawn

    Welcome to this week's Project Pitches on Beers with Engineers.


    Most people know the game of beer pong but it's become stagnant and is being replaced by newer more exciting games. Sean looks to re-invigorate the classic game by swapping the table with a football field and the ping pong ball with foam rockets.


    Paddy looks at his ski gear and ponders why things are waterproof. The conversation leads to an interesting opportunity to make your own ski gear.


    James' dad is fed up with people parking on his lawn as all fathers should be and turns to engineering to find a solution.

  • Ep 3: Hydro-Electric dam in the middle of the Ocean? VR training for doctors in the future? Time-Travel 101 with Sean.

    Sean tests our Dolphin and Mt. Everest Trivia and discusses how time-travel to the past is not possible. Or is it? Jk…it’s not, according to Stephen Hawking.


    James wants to know what advanced technologies would be used for future wars, as well as how far away are we from Surgical VR training for doctors, surgeons and nurses in the future.


    Paddy wonders whether a hydroelectric dam in the middle of the ocean is possible and which movie universe would make for the best reality?

  • Ep 2: Another win for clean energy? Can mRNA vaccines provide lifetime immunity? A device that can find lost chapsticks?

    News and Brews, a segment where we break down the latest findings in the World and delve into their technical aspects and impact on you.


    Sean discusses the political influence on coal in the clean energy sector and why this was overturned by the government.


    James has come up with a rather interesting analogy that relates pirates stealing treasure to the functionality of mRNA vaccines and how they grant immunity differently to vector vaccines.


    Paddy is just sick of losing his chapstick, so wonders how a device can be made to find lost chapsticks.
