Craig Lulek \u2013 Network Rail – Signalling Project Engineer<\/strong><\/p>\n Our first ever Live Online Engineer Event featuring a Network Rail engineer was with Craig Lulek, back in October. Craig, who is a Signalling Project Engineer, told us all about his career in engineering and he proved to be a huge success with the assembled pupils.<\/p>\n He currently works on diverse project such as station platform extensions, new depots and signalling schemes and, quite rightly, stressed the essence of engineering as \u201cproblem-solving\u201d.<\/p>\n There were 6 Primary Schools, from across the country, participating in Craig\u2019s event who, between them, have registered 337 pupils for the Primary Engineer Leaders Award.<\/p>\n Online Facebook Engineers<\/strong><\/p>\n For the first time, and specifically for the Leaders Award\u2019s Live Online Engineer Events, we have been joined by eight engineers of varying disciplines from Facebook.<\/p>\n Alex, Filip, Ghida, Giovana, Ionut, Nasia, Sarvesh and Sean have, between them, have talked to and answer questions from children from 24 schools (both Primary and Secondary) who have registered 2,201 pupils to participate in the Leaders Awards 2019\/2020.<\/p>\n Of course, during all of the Live Online Engineer Events, the children always ask challenging and interesting questions but, in Sean Clarke\u2019s event on December 9, one particularly taxing brain teaser was posed by one pupil and skilfully answered by Sean:<\/p>\n \u201cHow does the internet work?\u201d<\/p>\n We are hoping that all eight of these Facebook engineers (plus others) will join us again in the new year, participate in more Live Online Engineer Events and help to inspire event more pupils to answer the question, \u201cIf you were an Engineer, what would you do?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next Online Engineer Interviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n Vincent Giampietro \u2013 Brain Engineer \u2013 Kings College London: Thursday 9th January 2020<\/p>\n Elaine Meskhi \u2013 Senior Consultant \u2013 EA Teacher: Monday 13th January 2020<\/p>\n Peter Martell \u2013 Electronic Engineer \u2013 Network Rail: Thursday 16th January 2020<\/p>\n Jenny Roberts \u2013 Mechatronic Engineer \u2013 Lancaster University: Friday 17th January 2020<\/p>\n Lorna Bennet \u2013 Renewables Engineer \u2013 Catapult: Tuesday 21st January 2020<\/p>\n Graeme Ralph \u2013 Principal R&D Engineer \u2013 Spirit AeroSystems: Thursday 23rd January 2020<\/p>\n Iulia Motoc \u2013 Robotics Engineer \u2013 Leyton: Tuesday 28th January 2020<\/p>\n Ghazal Sheikholeslami \u2013 Laser Engineer \u2013 Canterbury Christ Church University : Thursday 30th January 2020<\/p>\n Emily Wood \u2013 Civil Engineer \u2013 Stantec: Wednesday 5th February 2020<\/p>\n We still have plenty more throughout the year!
