What makes an engineering hero?
Quote:
You can tell a lot about people from the individuals they most admire. So a recent #-Link-Snipped-# to find the public’s top engineering heroes paints an interesting picture of Britain’s view of engineers.
For one thing, the survey conducted by the organisation behind the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering shows a recognition of how wide a discipline engineering really is, taking in civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical and computer engineers - including many who probably wouldn’t achieve chartered status today. But the poll also reveals some things about how we view engineering achievement.

Many that I admire are in the list of twenty in the article.
