The documentary “Dream Big Engineering Our World” presents

the importance of engineers in our modern society. This film explores not
only global problems but also local challenges that engineers have
solved successfully. Also, the narrator emphasizes the relevance of
practical and engaging education.
The first issue addressed is a naturally occurring phenomenon that
has the potential to ruin an entire city in just minutes: earthquakes. In
order to prevent such catastrophe, scientists study countries like Nepal
to collect data and then build prototypes to test new designs and
materials. For example, to construct skyscrapers on soil prone to
liquefaction engineers embed massive concrete columns that reach deep
all the way to the bedrock.
The increasing population has led to rising skyscrapers all over the
globe. In cities like Shanghai, typhoons represent a huge concern, but
engineers have came up with a design that lets powerful wind just flow
around thanks to a twisted cylindrical form.
Renewable energy can be produced in various ways. In this
documentary, an incredible ingenious structure is presented: thousands
of mirrors pivot to reflect sunlight toward a boiler, the water is
transformed into steam that drives energy-producing turbines. This
structure is so powerful that can supply entire cities.
It’s encouraging to see that there are efforts put toward exciting the
young generation regarding engineering. Competitions that require
working in a team to build a product have great significance and impact.
Teachers are the ones who often stimulate the interest of students and
have a vital role in the development the society.
The film inspires through real-life stories of people changing the
world for the better. It shows that the future belongs to those who have
the capacity to create using both science and imagination.
