- 10:20for
- 10:20sixth
- 10:21form
- 10:21is
- 10:21that
- 10:21he
- 10:22really
- 10:22loved
- 10:22chemistry.
- 10:23And
- 10:23we
- 10:24just
- 10:24casually
- 10:24went
- 10:25to
- 10:25an
- 10:25open
- 10:25day
- 10:25at
- 10:26a
- 10:26local
- 10:27school,
- 10:27sixth
- 10:28form,
- 10:29just
- 10:29because
- 10:29it
- 10:30had
- 10:30nice
- 10:30buildings
- 10:30and
- 10:31nice
- 10:31grounds.
- 10:32And
- 10:32as
- 10:32soon
- 10:32as
- 10:33he
- 10:33saw
- 10:33the
- 10:33science
- 10:33labs,

- 10:36Because
- 10:36he'd
- 10:36never
- 10:37done
- 10:37chemistry
- 10:38experiments,
- 10:38not
- 10:39proper
- 10:39chemistry,
- 10:40maybe
- 10:40some
- 10:40of
- 10:40the
- 10:40home
- 10:41ones
- 10:41that

- 10:58timing,
- 10:58it's
- 10:58accessibility.
- 10:59Is
- 11:00it

- 11:02reasons
- 11:03my

- 12:27Actually,

- 12:30you.
- 12:30But
- 12:30do
- 12:30you
- 12:30feel
- 12:31that,
- 12:31particularly

- 12:32A
- 12:32level
- 12:32that
- 12:32your
- 12:33son,
- 12:33who's
- 12:34home
- 12:34educating
- 12:34and
- 12:34he's.
- 12:35And
- 12:35he
- 12:35just
- 12:36learning
- 12:37about
- 12:37the
- 12:37experiments
- 12:38rather
- 12:38than
- 12:38doing
- 12:38them,
- 12:39that
- 12:39he's
- 12:39going
- 12:39to
- 12:39miss
- 12:39out
- 12:40on
- 12:40an
- 12:40element
- 12:40of.
- 12:40That
- 12:41that
- 12:41is
- 12:42interesting?
- 12:42I
- 12:42mean,
- 12:43there
- 12:43are
- 12:43summer
- 12:43schools
- 12:44where
- 12:44I
- 12:44guess
- 12:44they
- 12:44can
- 12:45go
- 12:45and
- 12:45actually
- 12:45play
- 12:46around
- 12:46with
- 12:46it.
- 12:46But
- 12:46he,
- 12:47he
- 12:47personally
- 12:48has
- 12:48not
- 12:49had
- 12:49the
- 12:50same
- 12:50motivation
- 12:51to
- 12:52actually,
- 12:52you
- 12:52know,
- 12:53go
- 12:53and
- 12:53blow
- 12:54things
- 12:54up
- 12:54and
- 12:55make
- 12:55flames,
- 12:56etc.
- 12:57So.
- 12:58And
- 12:58he
- 12:58actually,
- 12:59he's
- 12:59not
- 12:59interested
- 13:00in
- 13:00doing
- 13:01a
- 13:01pure
- 13:01STEM
- 13:02course
- 13:02for
- 13:03a
- 13:03degree
- 13:04level.
- 13:04He's
- 13:04actually
- 13:04interested
- 13:05in
- 13:05linguistics,
- 13:06which
- 13:07I
- 13:07feel
- 13:08is
- 13:08actually
- 13:08quite
- 13:09scientific
- 13:09because
- 13:09it's
- 13:10the
- 13:10science
- 13:10of
- 13:10languages.
- 13:12So
- 13:12again,
- 13:13stem
- 13:13doesn't
- 13:14necessarily
- 13:14have
- 13:14to
- 13:14be
- 13:15like
- 13:15the
- 13:15stamen
- 13:16or
- 13:16the
- 13:16flame
- 13:17or
- 13:17the
- 13:18equations.
- 13:19The
- 13:19stamen,
- 13:20that
- 13:20was
- 13:21the
- 13:21word
- 13:21I
- 13:21was
- 13:21looking
- 13:22for.
- 13:23I
- 13:23might
- 13:23be
- 13:23wrong.
- 13:24So
- 13:25when
- 13:25it
- 13:25comes
- 13:25to
- 13:26doing
- 13:26the
- 13:26practicals
- 13:27at
- 13:27A
- 13:27level,
- 13:28you're
- 13:28saying
- 13:28that
- 13:28there's
- 13:28two
- 13:29options
- 13:29really.
- 13:30You
- 13:30can
- 13:30either
- 13:32embrace
- 13:33the
- 13:33fact

- 26:20everyone
- 26:21listening
- 26:21would
- 26:21agree.
- 26:22But.
- 26:22But
- 26:22I
- 26:22guess
- 26:23my
- 26:23question

- 27:31little
- 27:31bit
- 27:31different
- 27:32in
- 27:32your
- 27:32A
- 27:33levels.
- 27:33Yeah.
- 27:34So

- 27:39at
- 27:39the
- 27:39moment.
- 27:39It
- 27:39seems
- 27:39that
- 27:39everyone.
- 27:40I'm
- 27:40a
- 27:40maths
- 27:41tutor,
- 27:41so
- 27:42all
- 27:42of
- 27:42my
- 27:43tutees

- 27:44an
- 27:44economics
- 27:44degree.
- 27:45I
- 27:45know
- 27:46we're
- 27:47going
- 27:47to
- 27:47have
- 27:47an
- 27:47entire
- 27:47world
- 27:48of
- 27:48economists
- 27:49and
- 27:49I'm
- 27:49not
- 27:49sure
- 27:49that's
- 27:49a
- 27:50great
- 27:50thing,
- 27:50to
- 27:50be
- 27:50honest.
- 27:51I'm

- 27:52either.
- 27:52But
- 27:54what's
- 27:54important
- 27:54is
- 27:55that
- 27:55actually
- 27:55a
- 27:56lot
- 27:56of
- 27:56the
- 27:56universities,
- 27:57they
- 27:57actually
- 27:58prize
- 27:58A
- 27:58level
- 27:59maths
- 28:00over
- 28:00A
- 28:00level
- 28:01Economics.
- 28:02So
- 28:02it's
- 28:02often
- 28:02A
- 28:03level
- 28:03maths
- 28:03is
- 28:04the
- 28:04necessity
- 28:04rather
- 28:05than
- 28:05A
- 28:05level
- 28:06economics.
- 28:07And
- 28:07talking
- 28:07about
- 28:08interdisciplinary
- 28:09degrees,
- 28:10Imperial
- 28:10College,
- 28:11they
- 28:11also
- 28:12have
- 28:12got
- 28:12a
- 28:12new
- 28:12course

- 28:14which
- 28:14is
- 28:14called
- 28:15Economics,
- 28:17Data
- 28:17Science
- 28:17and
- 28:18Finance.
- 28:18So
- 28:19they're
- 28:19like
- 28:19smashing
- 28:20lots
- 28:20of
- 28:20things
- 28:20together.
- 28:21And
- 28:22back
- 28:22to
- 28:22biology,
- 28:23which
- 28:23we
- 28:23did
- 28:23this
- 28:24earlier.
- 28:24They've.
- 28:24Imperial
- 28:25also
- 28:25have
- 28:26a
- 28:26course,
- 28:26I
- 28:26think
- 28:26it's
- 28:27called
- 28:27Biotechnology
- 28:28Ventures
- 28:29with

- 28:30Yes.
- 28:30So
- 28:31even

- 28:37These
- 28:37prestigious
- 28:38universities
- 28:38like
- 28:38Imperial
- 28:39College
- 28:40are
- 28:41actually
- 28:42diversifying
- 28:43their
- 28:43subjects
- 28:44and
- 28:44not
- 28:44just
- 28:44being
- 28:45nerdy,
- 28:45nerdy,
- 28:46since
- 28:46they
- 28:46realize
- 28:47there's
- 28:48commerce
- 28:48there
- 28:48and
- 28:49management
- 28:49skills
- 28:50are
- 28:50valuable.
- 28:51Biotechnology
- 28:52Ventures,
- 28:53the
- 28:54degree
- 28:54that
- 28:54Caroline
- 28:54just
- 28:55mentioned
- 28:55is
- 28:55one
- 28:55that
- 28:55I've
- 28:56recently
- 28:56discovered
- 28:57and
- 28:58the
- 28:59subjects
- 28:59you
- 28:59need
- 28:59for
- 28:59it
- 29:00are
- 29:00biology,
- 29:00chemistry
- 29:01and
- 29:01maths.
- 29:02And
- 29:02when
- 29:02students
- 29:03have
- 29:03these
- 29:03subjects,
- 29:04what
- 29:04do
- 29:04they
- 29:04think?
- 29:05Usually
- 29:06they
- 29:06just
- 29:06think
- 29:06medicine.
- 29:07They
- 29:07can't
- 29:07think
- 29:08beyond
- 29:08that
- 29:09one
- 29:09sort
- 29:10of
- 29:10specialty
- 29:10with
- 29:10those
- 29:11subjects.
- 29:11But
- 29:11the
- 29:11world
- 29:11is
- 29:12expanding
- 29:13and
- 29:13this
- 29:13is
- 29:13where
- 29:14AI
- 29:14in
- 29:14particular,
- 29:15if
- 29:15you
- 29:15think
- 29:15about
- 29:16artificial
- 29:16intelligence,
- 29:17where
- 29:17it's
- 29:17being
- 29:17applied
- 29:18to,
- 29:19it's,
- 29:19it's

- 29:21way
- 29:21that
- 29:21perhaps
- 29:22people
- 29:22wouldn't
- 29:22have
- 29:22realized
- 29:23because
- 29:23data
- 29:23is
- 29:23everywhere.
- 29:24Data

- 29:27And
- 29:27so

- 29:27could
- 29:28easily
- 29:28do,
- 29:28you
- 29:29know,
- 29:29data
- 29:29science
- 29:30and
- 29:30xyz.
- 29:32And
- 29:32what
- 29:32that
- 29:33XYZ
- 29:33could
- 29:33be
- 29:34is
- 29:34getting
- 29:34larger
- 29:34and
- 29:35larger
- 29:35and
- 29:35larger
- 29:36because
- 29:36it's
- 29:36applicable

- 29:44So
- 29:44this
- 29:44is
- 29:45perfect.
- 29:45My
- 29:45question
- 29:46about
- 29:46AI
- 29:47is
- 29:48as
- 29:48STEMI
- 29:49nerds.
- 29:50Self
- 29:51proclaimed
- 29:51STEM
- 29:52nerds.
- 29:52Right.
- 29:53Are
- 29:53you
- 29:53worried
- 29:54about
- 29:54the
- 29:55impact
- 29:55that
- 29:55AI
- 29:56is
- 29:56going
- 29:56to
- 29:56have
- 29:56on
- 29:57students
- 29:57who
- 29:58are
- 29:58currently
- 29:58studying
- 29:59STEM
- 30:00subjects
- 30:00at
- 30:00A
- 30:00level
- 30:01and
- 30:01university
- 30:01and
- 30:02the
- 30:02world
- 30:02that
- 30:02they're
- 30:02going
- 30:02to
- 30:03be
- 30:03entering
- 30:04when
- 30:04they
- 30:04graduate?
- 30:05I
- 30:06mean,
- 30:06are
- 30:06these
- 30:06jobs
- 30:07still
- 30:07going
- 30:07to
- 30:07be
- 30:07there
- 30:08that
- 30:08they're
- 30:08currently
- 30:08studying
- 30:09towards?
- 30:10Shall
- 30:10I
- 30:11talk
- 30:11about
- 30:11it?
- 30:12I
- 30:12mean,
- 30:12I'm
- 30:12just
- 30:12a
- 30:12huge
- 30:13fan
- 30:13of
- 30:13AI.
- 30:14I
- 30:15mean,
- 30:15yes,
- 30:16I
- 30:17think
- 30:17it
- 30:17allows
- 30:19students,
- 30:20a
- 30:20nerd,
- 30:20to
- 30:21unlock
- 30:21their
- 30:21creativity
- 30:23because
- 30:23it's
- 30:24like
- 30:24when
- 30:24the
- 30:24calculator,
- 30:25the
- 30:25scientific
- 30:26calculator
- 30:26was
- 30:26invented,
- 30:27then
- 30:28mathematicians
- 30:29and
- 30:29physicists
- 30:30and
- 30:30engineers
- 30:30didn't
- 30:31have
- 30:31to
- 30:31spend
- 30:31time
- 30:32looking
- 30:32up
- 30:33in
- 30:33those
- 30:34books,
- 30:34like
- 30:34what
- 30:35is
- 30:35sine
- 30:3530
- 30:36basically?
- 30:36Or
- 30:36cosine
- 30:37cos
- 30:37of
- 30:38the
- 30:38minus
- 30:381
- 30:38of
- 30:392/5.
- 30:40They
- 30:41could
- 30:41actually
- 30:41just
- 30:41quickly
- 30:42do
- 30:42the
- 30:42calculation.
- 30:42And
- 30:43again,
- 30:43when
- 30:44computers
- 30:44were
- 30:44introduced,
- 30:45they
- 30:45could
- 30:45do
- 30:45all
- 30:46the
- 30:46calculations
- 30:47so
- 30:47much
- 30:48faster
- 30:48than
- 30:49humans.
- 30:49So
- 30:50scientists
- 30:50could
- 30:50be
- 30:51more
- 30:51creative.
- 30:52And

- 39:05there
- 39:06is
- 39:06no
- 39:06A
- 39:06level
- 39:06engineering.
- 39:07I,
- 39:07I
- 39:07did
- 39:08look
- 39:08it
- 39:08up,
- 39:08so
- 39:09I,
- 39:09I
- 39:09did
- 39:10want
- 39:10to,
- 39:10I've
- 39:10just
- 39:11discovered
- 39:11recently
- 39:12these
- 39:12two,
- 39:13they're
- 39:13called
- 39:14institutes,
- 39:14I
- 39:14guess.
- 39:15So
- 39:15there's
- 39:15these
- 39:16two
- 39:16institutes.
- 39:17One's
- 39:17the
- 39:17Dyson.
- 39:18What's
- 39:18it
- 39:18called?
- 39:18Let
- 39:19me
- 39:19get
- 39:19the
- 39:19name
- 39:19right.
- 39:20The
- 39:20Dyson
- 39:21Institute
- 39:21of
- 39:22Engineering.
- 39:22Is
- 39:23that
- 39:23right?
- 39:23And
- 39:23the
- 39:23New
- 39:24Model
- 39:24Institute
- 39:24for
- 39:25Technology
- 39:25and
- 39:25Engineering.
- 39:26So
- 39:26they're
- 39:26two
- 39:26new
- 39:27universities
- 39:27where
- 39:28you
- 39:28can
- 39:28do
- 39:28bachelor's
- 39:29and
- 39:29master's
- 39:30degrees
- 39:31which
- 39:31are
- 39:31engineering
- 39:32related,
- 39:33but
- 39:33more
- 39:34like
- 39:34practical
- 39:35rather
- 39:35than
- 39:35the
- 39:36theory.
- 39:36So
- 39:37I
- 39:37know
- 39:37the
- 39:37New
- 39:37Model
- 39:37Institute
- 39:39of
- 39:39Technology
- 39:40and
- 39:40Engineering.
- 39:40You
- 39:41need
- 39:41BBC
- 39:43A
- 39:43level.
- 39:43So
- 39:44where
- 39:44is
- 39:44it
- 39:44geographically?
- 39:45Is
- 39:45it
- 39:45Hereford?
- 39:46Is
- 39:46it
- 39:47Hereford?
- 39:47It
- 39:47might
- 39:48be.
- 39:48And
- 39:49then
- 39:49I
- 39:49think
- 39:49Dyson.
- 39:50Is
- 39:50that
- 39:50in
- 39:50Reading?
- 39:51Is
- 39:51that
- 39:51where
- 39:51they
- 39:51are?
- 39:52I
- 39:52think
- 39:52they
- 39:52are
- 39:52in
- 39:53the
- 39:53south.
- 39:54And
- 39:54for
- 39:54the
- 39:55Dyson
- 39:55degree
- 39:56you
- 39:56need
- 39:56aab.
- 39:57But
- 39:57again,
- 39:57you
- 39:58get
- 39:58the
- 39:58chance
- 39:58to
- 39:59work
- 40:00with
- 40:00Dyson
- 40:00and
- 40:01have
- 40:01that
- 40:01amazing
- 40:02company
- 40:03experience
- 40:04with
- 40:04that
- 40:04amazing
- 40:04company
- 40:05as
- 40:05well.
- 40:05So
- 40:06they're
- 40:07an
- 40:07interesting
- 40:07practical
- 40:08model
- 40:08for
- 40:08people
- 40:09who
- 40:09do
- 40:09want
- 40:10practical
- 40:10degrees.
- 40:12So
- 40:12something
- 40:13that's
- 40:14going
- 40:14to
- 40:14look
- 40:14great
- 40:14on
- 40:14your

- 40:16looking
- 40:16for
- 40:16jobs
- 40:16as
- 40:16well.
- 40:17So

- 40:19before.
- 40:20That
- 40:20leads
- 40:20me
- 40:20to
- 40:21my
- 40:21last
- 40:21question.
- 40:22Well,
- 40:22my
- 40:22penultimate
- 40:23question
- 40:23actually,
- 40:24which
- 40:24is
- 40:24that,
- 40:25are
- 40:25there
- 40:25any
- 40:25particular
- 40:26universities
- 40:26you
- 40:27would
- 40:27recommend
- 40:28for
- 40:28particular
- 40:29STEM
- 40:29subjects?
- 40:30And
- 40:30I'd
- 40:30like
- 40:30you
- 40:31here
- 40:31to.
- 40:31And
- 40:32I

- 40:32both
- 40:32went
- 40:33to
- 40:33very
- 40:33good
- 40:33universities
- 40:34in
- 40:34inverted
- 40:34commerce,
- 40:35right?
- 40:35But
- 40:35are
- 40:36there,
- 40:36are
- 40:36there
- 40:36like
- 40:37slightly
- 40:37wackier
- 40:37universities?
- 40:38I
- 40:38know
- 40:38that.
- 40:39For
- 40:39example,
- 40:39I'll

- 40:39an
- 40:39example.
- 40:40Bangor
- 40:41is
- 40:41really
- 40:41good
- 40:42for
- 40:42marine
- 40:42science.
- 40:43Now
- 40:43who'd
- 40:43know,
- 40:43right?
- 40:44Like,
- 40:44that's
- 40:44crazy.
- 40:44And

- 40:45like
- 40:46really,
- 40:46really
- 40:46good
- 40:46for
- 40:46marine
- 40:47science.
- 40:47And,
- 40:47and
- 40:48I
- 40:48know
- 40:48that
- 40:48Lampeter,
- 40:49when
- 40:49I
- 40:49was,
- 40:49when
- 40:50I
- 40:50was
- 40:50looking
- 40:50at
- 40:50doing
- 40:50theology,
- 40:51Lampeter
- 40:52in
- 40:52Wales
- 40:53was
- 40:53really,
- 40:53really
- 40:53good
- 40:53for
- 40:53theology.
- 40:54It
- 40:54was
- 40:54our
- 40:54best
- 40:54in
- 40:54the
- 40:55country.
- 40:55And
- 40:55it's
- 40:55like,
- 40:55wow,
- 40:55that's

- 40:56So
- 40:56are
- 40:57there
- 40:57any,
- 40:57any
- 40:58universities
- 40:58that
- 40:58maybe
- 40:59people
- 41:00aren't
- 41:00aware
- 41:00of
- 41:01that
- 41:01you
- 41:01think
- 41:01are
- 41:01particularly
- 41:02good
- 41:02for
- 41:02certain
- 41:03STEM
- 41:03subjects?
- 41:04And
- 41:04of
- 41:04course,
- 41:04do
- 41:04tell
- 41:05us
- 41:05the

- 41:08tables
- 41:09and
- 41:09stuff
- 41:09for
- 41:09different
- 41:09STEM
- 41:10subjects.
- 41:10So
- 41:11Loughborough
- 41:11is
- 41:11one
- 41:12that
- 41:12I
- 41:12came
- 41:12across
- 41:12because
- 41:13my
- 41:13son
- 41:13was
- 41:13looking
- 41:13at
- 41:14engineering
- 41:14and
- 41:15Loughborough's
- 41:16got
- 41:16amazing
- 41:17industry
- 41:17links
- 41:18and
- 41:18it's
- 41:18one
- 41:18that
- 41:18I
- 41:18hadn't
- 41:19thought
- 41:19of.
- 41:19It's
- 41:19not
- 41:19one
- 41:20of
- 41:20those
- 41:20conventional
- 41:20Russell
- 41:21Group
- 41:21kind
- 41:21of
- 41:21unis
- 41:22that
- 41:22you
- 41:22think
- 41:22of,
- 41:23but
- 41:23actually,
- 41:23I
- 41:24mean,
- 41:24going
- 41:24to
- 41:24their
- 41:24open
- 41:24days
- 41:25and
- 41:25sort
- 41:25of
- 41:25exploring.
- 41:26They
- 41:27have
- 41:27a
- 41:28lot
- 41:28of
- 41:28engineering
- 41:28degrees,
- 41:29they
- 41:30have
- 41:30a
- 41:30lot
- 41:30of
- 41:30links
- 41:30with
- 41:31industry.
- 41:31So
- 41:31Caroline
- 41:32mentioned
- 41:32Formula
- 41:32One.
- 41:33So
- 41:33I
- 41:33think
- 41:33automotive
- 41:34engineering
- 41:34is
- 41:34a
- 41:34particular
- 41:35one
- 41:35that
- 41:35they
- 41:35have
- 41:36links
- 41:36with
- 41:36Formula
- 41:37One.
- 41:37And
- 41:37what
- 41:38they
- 41:38pride
- 41:38themselves
- 41:39at
- 41:40is
- 41:40sort
- 41:40of
- 41:40that
- 41:41you're
- 41:41in
- 41:41industry,
- 41:41they
- 41:42will
- 41:42link
- 41:42you
- 41:42up
- 41:42with,
- 41:42you
- 41:43know,
- 41:43really
- 41:43good
- 41:43work
- 41:44experiences,
- 41:44which
- 41:45is
- 41:45a
- 41:45really
- 41:46important
- 41:46thing
- 41:46to
- 41:46have
- 41:47these
- 41:47days
- 41:47and
- 41:47be
- 41:47employable
- 41:48at
- 41:48the
- 41:48end
- 41:48of
- 41:48the
- 41:48degree.
- 41:49So
- 41:49that's
- 41:50definitely
- 41:50one
- 41:50unconventional
- 41:51one
- 41:51that
- 41:51stuck
- 41:52out
- 41:52to
- 41:52me
- 41:52that
- 41:52isn't
- 41:53perhaps
- 41:53in
- 41:54the
- 41:54top
- 41:54four
- 41:54or
- 41:54five
- 41:55that
- 41:55people
- 41:55think
- 41:55of
- 41:56with
- 41:56engineering.
- 41:56Perhaps,
- 41:57Carolyn,
- 41:57you
- 41:57can
- 41:57speak
- 41:58to
- 41:58the
- 41:58top
- 41:58ones.
- 41:58I
- 41:59know.
- 42:00Well,
- 42:00yeah,
- 42:01obviously
- 42:01Oxbridge,
- 42:02interestingly,
- 42:04Oxford
- 42:04for
- 42:04engineering
- 42:05is
- 42:05a
- 42:05general
- 42:05engineering
- 42:06degree,
- 42:06whereas
- 42:07at
- 42:07Cambridge
- 42:07you
- 42:07actually
- 42:08do
- 42:08pick
- 42:09the
- 42:09specific
- 42:10branch
- 42:10of
- 42:10engineering
- 42:11you
- 42:11want
- 42:11to
- 42:11specialise
- 42:12in.
- 42:12So
- 42:13pure
- 42:13engineers
- 42:14would
- 42:14say,
- 42:14oh
- 42:14yeah,
- 42:14the
- 42:14Oxford
- 42:15one
- 42:15is
- 42:15not
- 42:15a
- 42:15proper
- 42:16engineering.
- 42:17I
- 42:17would
- 42:17never
- 42:17think
- 42:17of
- 42:18Oxbridge
- 42:18for
- 42:19engineering.
- 42:19I
- 42:19always
- 42:20assumed
- 42:20you
- 42:20would
- 42:21need
- 42:21something
- 42:21that
- 42:21was
- 42:21a
- 42:21little
- 42:22bit
- 42:22more,
- 42:23you
- 42:24know,
- 42:25modern.
- 42:28Okay.
- 42:30Surely
- 42:30there
- 42:30must
- 42:31be
- 42:31some
- 42:31of
- 42:32the
- 42:32more
- 42:32recent,
- 42:33the,
- 42:34the
- 42:34universities
- 42:34that
- 42:35were
- 42:35technical
- 42:36colleges
- 42:36and,
- 42:36and,
- 42:37and
- 42:37those
- 42:38kind
- 42:38of
- 42:38things,
- 42:39you
- 42:39know,
- 42:40polys
- 42:40when
- 42:41I
- 42:41was
- 42:41growing
- 42:41up.
- 42:42Surely
- 42:42they
- 42:42are
- 42:42better
- 42:43for
- 42:43engineering
- 42:43though,
- 42:43and
- 42:44technology.
- 42:45Well,
- 42:45the
- 42:45standard
- 42:45one
- 42:45is
- 42:46Imperial,
- 42:47that's
- 42:48the,
- 42:48the
- 42:48best.
- 42:49And,
- 42:50but
- 42:50also
- 42:50a
- 42:51Coventry
- 42:51University.
- 42:52Interestingly,
- 42:53I
- 42:53came
- 42:54across
- 42:54them
- 42:54at
- 42:55one
- 42:55of
- 42:55these
- 42:55university.
- 42:57Fairs
- 42:58where
- 42:58the
- 42:58universities
- 42:58come
- 42:59and
- 42:59gather
- 42:59and
- 42:59promote.
- 43:00So
- 43:01they've
- 43:01built
- 43:01new
- 43:02engineering
- 43:02departments,
- 43:03they've
- 43:03got
- 43:04all
- 43:04these
- 43:04big
- 43:05wind
- 43:05tunnels
- 43:05and
- 43:06all
- 43:06the
- 43:06cool
- 43:07things
- 43:08to
- 43:08do,
- 43:08all
- 43:08the
- 43:08big
- 43:09experiments
- 43:09with.
- 43:10So
- 43:10that,
- 43:10that
- 43:10was
- 43:10actually
- 43:11an
- 43:11interesting
- 43:11one
- 43:12that
- 43:12I
- 43:12heard
- 43:12about.
- 43:13I
- 43:13have
- 43:13to
- 43:13plug
- 43:13UCL
- 43:14here
- 43:14because
- 43:14that's
- 43:14where
- 43:15my
- 43:15daughter
- 43:15goes.
- 43:15So
- 43:15UCL
- 43:16has
- 43:16recently
- 43:17built
- 43:17a
- 43:17UCL
- 43:18East
- 43:18Campus,
- 43:19which
- 43:19is,
- 43:20again,
- 43:21they
- 43:21have
- 43:21a
- 43:21lot
- 43:22of
- 43:22these
- 43:22labs
- 43:22and,
- 43:23you
- 43:23know,
- 43:23sort
- 43:23of
- 43:24hands
- 43:24on
- 43:24engineering.
- 43:25So
- 43:25I
- 43:25know
- 43:25architectural
- 43:26engineering
- 43:27is
- 43:27one
- 43:27that
