I’ve just had my attention drawn to this inspiring 2 minute video on engineering from University of Michigan PhD student Barry Belmont:

 

The video’s part of the National Academy of Engineering Engineering for You Video Contest.

What I like about it is the way it connects advances in engineering to our needs, hopes and aspirations as people.

Barry’s looking for votes for the contest, which closes on September 1st.  If you like video, you can vote for it by giving it the thumbs up on YouTube, or on the NAE website.

It’s also worth checking out the other videos that have been submitted – see them all here.
