When lots of people think about engineering they often think about the pollution it can cause and the damage it can do to the environment but the truth of that we have to have a certain amount of engineering and in fact, it can help reduce waste and increase sustainability.
Engineering is all about making something that can be used to improve a process or help create something else. There are a huge number of different types of engineering roles out there that often people only train in one area of it.
Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular and many manufactures have said that within the next five years or so, all the cars that they make will be electric. This is due to engineering advances that make it possible for them to create cars that no longer rely on fuel.
Electric cars still have a way to go and there are many improvements that need to be made. The batteries on electric cars are not great at the moment and take a long time to charge. They also don’t lats very long which makes them unsuitable for some people who have to travel a long distance each day. Engineers are constantly working on ways in which they can improve electric cars to overcome the issues they have.
