The Production Zone was funded by the Institution for Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology. All the engineers were involved in aspects of production from programming robots, to using lasers to make aircraft parts, to finding more efficient ways to make processed food, to using living cells to make drug molecules.
The Zone was busy in both live chats and ASK, where the 796 submitted questions was well above the I’m an Engineer average. Due to students asking about the different jobs of each engineer, the zone was focused on the theme of production, as well covering engineering in general and current issues, such as gender representation. In particular, Mark and Michael engaged strongly with students, accounting for 75% of the ASK questions and live chat lines between them.
