From Ideas to Impact: How Engineers Innovate in an Uncertain World
Event details
School of Physics, Engineering and Technology Webinar Series
Engineering is not only about solving technical problems — it is also about creating new possibilities. In this interactive webinar, participants will explore how engineers and entrepreneurs make decisions when the future is uncertain. Using practical examples and short activities, we will look at how engineers can start with the resources, skills and networks they already have, experiment with ideas, manage risk and work with others to create opportunities. The session will introduce a practical approach to entrepreneurial thinking and show how engineers can turn ideas into real-world impact.
