SMART OBJECTIVES: Bethany Hall: 1. Support the dissemination of the 'design for sustainability' tool created in my current project, FlyZero, which is closely aligned to the ESG tool discussed and developed by our team through this challenge! FlyZero has been a year long zero-carbon aircraft development feasibility project, for which all of the work is going to be published in various reports in March 2022. When these are published I will try to raise more awareness of this work, and will be sure to take the work forwards into my next engineering role after FlyZero. 2. I commit to delivering more STEAM outreach this year in schools and other forums, with a strong focus on promoting 'Sustainable STEAM' careers that showcase engineering as problem solving and creativity to try to make it more accessible. FlyZero has given me lots of ideas for content to pose creative challenges for young people on zero-carbon aircraft design, so I will aim to deliver this to at least 3 schools throughout this year. 3. I aim to use my WISE Young Professionals Board position where I have the platform to advocate for more authentic inclusion and change in Engineering, through blogs, social media campaigns, events and children's competitions. Through this, I aim to continue to raise awareness of how engineering needs to have global responsibility at it's core and drill home the 'responsible, purposeful, inclusive and regenerative' messages home. Gavin Fraser: 1. Within the next two months I will educate myself on the sources of critical raw materials for electric vehicles, to better understand the social, environmental and economic impacts on the people who live near these minerals. I will share what I learn with my team. 2. Within the next three months I will use some of the insights gained through my participation in the EWB challenge to develop a thought paper which takes a more critical look at the rush to electric vehicles in the transit sector, and highlights the ESG concerns that exist at various stages of the vehicle life cycle – e.g. where do the critical raw materials come from, where and how is the power to operate the vehicles generated etc. 3. Within the next six months I will develop a version of our proposed ESG checklist which could be used in the procurement of transit vehicles and services – this will likely take the form of a questionnaire to be included with Requests for Proposals for proponents to complete. I will engage with my clients to encourage include of the checklist into their RFPs. André Reis 1. I will continue to study what changes I can implement to both my personal lifestyle and work practices, to decrease and potentially negate any impact that my actions have on the environment. Erika Rosenstein 1. As a result of this challenge, I will continue to seek opportunities to empower engineers to be advocates for sustainable design, even for issues that may feel out of their control. 2. I will challenge companies and clients to support these types of initiatives even when the result may not be an immediate improvement to the bottom line metrics.
