The Metre Zone was a general zone and funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering, with five engineers from five different areas of engineering. Andrew is a Senior Engineer working in intelligent transportation systems, Ele is a bicycle Design Engineer for Brompton, Emma works in the design and construction of underground stations, Angela is a Post-Doctoral researcher at King’s College, London and Kene is a Systems/Reliability Engineer at a nuclear power station.
This zone was one of the busiest of all the March zones and had a higher than average amount of questions approved and answers given, with students showing interest in topics such as different career paths and University courses. Most of the engineers interacted well with each other within the ASK section and live chats, with Andrew and Ele accounting for a majority of all activity by engineers.
