This is another mini-episode in the lead up to World Engineering Day 2021. In this episode we speak to Dr Xiaojing Hao about her work in energy and finding ways to boost the world’s solar power.  Imagine if your mobile, or car, or building could become a solar panel and actually generate enough energy to run itself. "There are lots of scientists and engineers working on how to integrate the solar panel into different areas” Dr Hao told Engineering Heroes.

This is a REFOCUS episode... an episode where we revisit to refocus on a topic from an earlier time in our podcast history.

Dan Taylor thinks it's well past time for engineers to step forward and promote themselves as the experts they are... “Be a Kevin McCloud of engineering” 

Being reserved at the start of your career is expected, but there comes a time in every engineer’s career when they must recognise that it’s time to actively and loudly promote the work they are doing and the expertise they have gained.
