0:00.0	Welcome to Jimmy's Jobs to the Future. We're recording live at the Science Museum to celebrate
0:12.3	the opening of their new Engineers Gallery. The Science Museum has always been one of my
0:17.3	favorite places in London, so it is a real treat to do this podcast in partnership with
0:22.5	the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Science Museum. We're here to celebrate the opening
0:27.4	of the new Engineers Hall to celebrate the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. We're
0:34.2	joined today by Becky Shipley, OBE, who is a UCL Professor in Healthcare Engineering
0:41.8	on to today's episode. Becky, welcome to Jimmy's Jobs to the Future. What's your
0:47.9	job? I am a Healthcare Engineer at University College London, so I basically try and develop
0:55.3	healthcare technologies. And why is there an exhibition at the Science Museum,

1:30.4	And what is an engineer? Essentially, I think if you ask different people, you'll get
1:35.6	a different answer, but for me, engineers are problem solvers, so that's very much how
1:40.4	I see it. So if you're an engineer, you'll usually have a grounding in subjects like maths
1:46.2	or physics or computing. But the beauty of it is that you basically tackle the big problems
1:53.6	that we worry about in the world. So for me, it's healthcare, it could be in that zero,
1:56.8	it could be, you know, manufacturing area, it could be much, you know, all sorts of different
2:00.6	areas. And you kind of reach in and build on that base that you've got and use those
