Andy Pearson Born With a Silver Spanner in Her Hand BY ANDY PEARSON, PH.D., C.ENG., FELLOW ASHRAE I’m writing this column on the birthday of one of the most unusual and inspiring characters in engineering history. She was born in a Scottish castle near Perth into a family of the landed gentry and was named after her godmother who was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Despite her noble beginnings Victoria Drummond clearly had an aptitude for hands-on engineering. As a young girl she enjoyed making wooden toys and mod- els and is said to have won prizes for them. Aged 21 she started an apprenticeship in a garage in Perth and two years later transferred her training to the Caledon Shipbuilding yard in Dundee, where she served her time in the pattern shop for the foundry and in the fin- ishing shop. After two more years she completed her apprenticeship and spent further time as a journey- man engine builder and then in the drawing office at Caledon. When the yard hit hard times a couple of years later she was laid off, but managed to get a place with the Blue Funnel line in Liverpool and after a short trial voyage she was signed on as tenth engineer (the bottom rung of the ladder) on a passenger liner sailing between England and Australia.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 rnsse F 686 X c2I ABSTRACT The public sector of all western developed countries has become increasingly involved in financing health care during the past century. Today, thirteen OECD countries have passed landmark legislative reforms that call for compulsory prepayment and universal entitlement to comprehensive services, while most of the others achieve similar coverage through a mixture of public and private voluntary arrangements. This study carried out a detailed analysis of why, how and to what effect governments became involved in health care financing in eight of these countries. During the early phase of this evolution, reliance on direct out-of-pocket payment and an unregulated market mechanism for the financing, production and delivery of health care led to many unsatisfactory outcomes in the allocation of scarce resources, redistribution of the financial burden of illness and stabilisation of health care activities.

  • Pocket Ideas
    Pocket ideas A moment in time Award-winning project Pocket ideas – A moment in time ‘Pocket ideas’ won ‘Best Acute Care Initiative’ at the Scottish Dementia Awards in 2014. It is a pocket tool designed with the intention that any member of staff in contact with older people could use the prepared prompts to begin a conversation. Activities are divided into five sections: communication, games, physical activity, music and culture and wellbeing. You can choose from pictures, inspirational quotes, simple questions and activities to stimulate discussion. These ideas can be used with an individual or in a group. No preparation is needed, and even five minutes with an older person can enhance their quality of life. Our Activity Team wanted to develop this tool, not just to begin a conversation, but to think about having a meaningful moment in time. How we approach people matters, and how we help people engage in purposeful activity is important. Every moment we have to offer older people in a meaningful experience is valuable, and essential in our professional practice. It promotes increased self- esteem, reduces risk of low mood, and empowers people to achieve their own person-centred goals. Andrea Boyd Occupational Therapist Communication “The biggest failure you can have in life is making the mistake of never trying at all.” Unknown A moment in time More Open Minds Experience New Tasks Introducing New Thoughts Inspiring Memorable Experiences Jean Knox “Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will.” Unknown Ten top tips for supporting people with communication difficulties to use Pocket ideas 1.

  • Early Women Engineering Graduates from Scottish Universities
    Early Women Engineering Graduates from Scottish Universities Nina Baker, Ph.D. Although women were admitted to Scottish Universities at the end of the 19th Century, they did not start to take engineering courses until the early 20th Century. Data was sought from the older Scottish Universities (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Strathclyde, Dundee and Aberdeen) for women graduating in engineering subjects. None of the universities’ or engineering faculties’ published histories mention women in engineering, whereas women medical and science students are generally better documented, so this synthesis of statistical data and case studies will be completely new. Pioneering women were taking engineering classes at the beginning of the 20th Century and the first woman to graduate from the University of Glasgow in an engineering subject did so in the very male-dominated field of Naval Architecture in 1926. The careers of some of the graduates are considered in terms of barriers and opportunities for women entering non-traditional work. All engineering faculties are experiencing falling student recruitment and claim to seek a more diverse entry. These data and case studies could be helpful in normalising the position of women in engineering. Introduction and Background Published histories of women’s admission to UK universities mainly consider the Oxbridge colleges and women’s fight to obtain medical qualifications.1 As Moore2 points out, there are few published sources about women at the Scottish universities and a similarly rare example of an account of the process towards higher education for women in Ireland is provided by Harford.3 It is thought that the world’s first female engineering graduate was Alice Perry, with first class honours in civil engineering from University College, Galway, Ireland, in 1906.4 The purpose of this paper is to uncover the histories of women who chose engineering at the older Scottish universities.
