“Why do power outages happen? Why can’t we use elevators during a power outage?”
“Will artificial intelligence replace engineers?”
“Can humans time travel?”
Students often come up with questions that sometimes challenge parents and teachers. The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) is launching a brand-new video series, “2-Minute Q&A with Master Engineers”, in which professional engineers will answer questions posed by students. The video aims to satisfy the curiosity of young minds, highlighting the significance of engineering in our daily lives and also igniting interest in engineering and technology.
The videos will be uploaded to the HKIE’s YouTube Channel, Facebook and Instagram. Keep an eye out for them!
