S3E5 Engineering in Crisis: How Chelvi Nava is Inspiring the Next Generation

With a significant skills gap, an ageing workforce, and insufficient numbers of students entering the field, it’s no secret that the UK is facing a huge shortage of engineers. 

Renowned engineer and writer Chelvi Nava believes the industry is in crisis. In this episode she discusses the urgent actions needed to address this shortage and shares how she, through her project ‘Engineering Everyone’, is inspiring the next generation of engineers. 

We also meet Dave Knapton who’s been leading the prototype team at Sunderland University working on the “Self Regulation Bracelet”, one of the winning entries of the If You Were An Engineer competition.
