February 18, 2024 Mission 6: Can we engineer our food to be better?
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Agents - according to Professor Susan Jebb, Professor of Diet and Population Health at the University of Oxford, “we cannot meet Net Zero targets without changing our diet”.

To discover how responsible engineering can help grow the food of the future, we’ve asked Agent Somara to get the lowdown on a company creating sushi-grade salmon without growing any fish(?). Meanwhile Agent Clark must use his very best puns to infiltrate a farm using tech to grow food faster with less water, pesticides and fertiliser.

PLUS what happens when Grieg Cameron from ‘D’ Brand puts our team through a sustainable snack taste test?

February 18, 2024 Mission 5: Cleaning up the skies and space
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Agents - intercepted communications show that travel accounts for around one-fifth of global CO2 emissions, while our obsession with space has put almost eight THOUSAND tonnes of waste into orbit!

To learn how responsible engineering can clean up the skies and space, Agent Clark must attempt a clandestine rendezvous with the head of ESA's Clean Space Initiative, while Agent Somara is ready to jet off on a mission to interrogate the team developing the world’s first fully certified hydrogen powered plane...

PLUS can our crime-fighting duo give Greig Cameron from ‘D’ Branch an idea for a new mode of transport for busy spies?

February 18, 2024 Mission 4: Working smart and living sustainably in the cities of the future
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Agents - according to our sources, over half the world’s population live in a city - a figure expected to reach 7 BILLION by 2050. What’s more, cities account for 80% of global GDP and over 70% of global CO2 emissions!

To investigate how responsible engineering can help build the future, Agent Somara must track down the designer of a city that’s literally out of this world. Meanwhile Agent Clark’s assignment to hack his way into (and hopefully out again) the world’s smartest office building…

PLUS Greig Cameron from ‘D’ Branch challenges our spies to design the perfect city of the future for Scientists and Engineers…

February 18, 2024 Mission 3: Decoding the internet of skills
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Agents - the bods in ‘D’ Branch believe the recent advances in networks, robotics, VR and haptics mean we could transcend our physical boundaries…so is it time we stopped talking about the internet of things and started talking about the internet of skills?

To explore how responsible engineering can unlock the future, Agent Clark needs to channel his inner Bond and charm global innovator, serial entrepreneur (and the potentially secret lair owning?) Mischa Dohler. Meanwhile Agent Somara’s mission is to get to grips (literally) with a shadowy robot hand…

PLUS Greig Cameron from ‘D’ Branch challenges our spies-in-training to invent a gadget to revolutionise how engineers learn new skills.

February 18, 2024 Mission 2: Meet the engineers quietly fixing noise pollution
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Agents - our sensors have detected that noise pollution is the second most harmful environmental health issue, contributing to thousands of serious illnesses and premature deaths.

To discover how responsible engineering can help us combat noise pollution, Agent Somara must track down the founder of tech startup Mumbli and uncover his plans for saving the planet. Meanwhile Agent Clark listens carefully while he sneaks into a soundscape modelling lab in the second noisiest city in Europe…

PLUS will it be music to our ears when Greig Cameron from ‘D’ Branch challenges our spies to come up with the ultimate noise cancelling gadget?
