Engineering the Modern World

A series of lectures presented by Gresham College.

These lectures will be given by Professor Paul Daniel Marriott, Dame Sue Ion, Sadie Morgan OBE and Roger Ridsdill Smith.

This series looks at how engineers are creating our modern world, from how it started, with Thomas Telford’s roads, bridges and canals, to modern engineers making nuclear power stations, building skyscrapers and tall buildings and designing modern infrastructure like new rail lines that are both functional and beautiful.
