Submissions were received from 30 respondents. Some of these were expanded into full papers in this Working Paper series. The others have been reproduced here, in whole or in part, in order to provide a wider audience for the material, to demonstrate what it is that engineers have done, and to encourage young people to consider engineering as. a career. The Paper ends with a short general summary.
