@Bethany Hall It was my pleasure, each of you have such an interesting viewpoint, it was really interesting seeing your synergy, and the creation of this idea. Really impressed!

Hi team, was great to meet you earlier this week, and interesting to see how your submission is progressing, I think your idea is really strong! If you need more feedback before Monday I'm available here, or via email. Best of luck with the finishing touches. Chris

Hi team, was great to meet you yesterday and discuss your idea in more detail, it has progressed really nicely! I know you're all quite busy this weekend, but I'm here if you need more feedback before Monday. In case we don't catch up again, best of luck with the submission! Chris

Hi team! Hope the project is going okay? I haven't heard anything back from yourselves, which hopefully means you're happy progressing with the project, but just wanted to let you know I'm available if you need any more feedback before the submission on Monday. Best of luck! Chris

Hi Bruna, Matt, Alan, Holly and Sarthak! Thanks for submitting your concept note, and nice to virtually meet you all. I've been assigned as your mentor on this project. I really like your visual presentation aid, really helps convey your concept. I'm by no means an expert, but hoping my comments and questions can help draw out the expertise you each already have within. I've summarised my initial thoughts below, particularly on how we can present your idea in line with the marking criteria. (To briefly give context to my observations, my background is as a engineering consultant.) 1. I'm not sure if this formed part of your inspiration, but my first thought after reading your concept was its correlation to the 'Maslow Hierarchy of Needs' in psychology, which might be an interesting comparison to explore if you're not familiar. How did you rank each of these needs in the hierarchy? 2. Because you've taken a bottom up approach, this could give you very good marks in the 'Inclusive' section of the marking criteria. It will be useful to explore how this concept could be applied in practice, to reach the desired impact. What examples would you use, in both a developing and developed country context? Each giving your own examples of how this theory could be applied will also enable you to gain marks in the 'Responsible' marking criteria. 3. I really liked your consideration of efficiency, impact, and legacy; as the legacy of engineering is very often ignored. My query is, does efficiency fit at the top of this pyramid, or does it have a part to play in every level going up? 4. Are you able to expand on how you came up with the base words of society, education, entrepreneurship and practice? In terms of communication, we can continue dialogue on this platform, but if you would like anything else, such as a video call, please let me know. Please feel free to respond to anything I've said, or throw out more thoughts, and hopefully our dialogue can help develop this concept even further.

Hi Luce, Andrew, James, Ursula and Joseph! Thanks for submitting your concept note, and nice to virtually meet you all. I've been assigned as your mentor on this project. It's an interesting concept, especially the snappy title, this could definitely catch on. I'm by no means an expert, but hoping my comments and questions can help draw out the expertise you each already have within. I've summarised my initial thoughts below, particularly on how we can present your idea in line with the marking criteria. (To briefly give context to my observations, my background is as a engineering consultant.) 1. You've come up with some great high level examples of what these prompts could be. I'm sure you're already planning to do so, but it would be great to explorer further what some of these prompts could be specifically, i.e. giving examples of things you might undertake in your respective companies. This could pretty much guarantee you top points for the 'Responsible' marking criteria, by each giving 'SMART' personal actions. 2. The 'what, how, why' structure is great for demonstrating the 'Regenerative' marking criteria. Thinking about how the scheme could gain momentum, who would help manage the delivery of these prompts? Would it be a scheme managed centrally, or would it have localised 'champions'? 3. Following on from above, would the prompts change by sector or company? Targeted sector specific information might be more directly useful, but might not be as 'inclusive', i.e. ensuring diverse viewpoints are presented that might not be directly relevant, but could spark discussion. 4. I really like your idea to make it more interactive. As you pointed out at the start of your concept note, professionals can be bombarded with information, what would make these stand out against the noise? How can they be made less static? 5. Your concept is particularly relevant in the current digital world. What sort of technology would you employ to disseminate this information? Would this be the same in developing and developed countries? In terms of communication, we can continue dialogue on this platform, but if you would like anything else, such as a video call, please let me know. Please feel free to respond to anything I've said, or throw out more thoughts, and hopefully our dialogue can make this idea even stronger.

Hi Bethany, Erika, Gavin and Andre! Thanks for submitting your concept note, and nice to virtually meet you all. I've been assigned as your mentor on this project and am already really impressed by your idea. I'm by no means an expert, but hoping my comments and questions can help draw out the expertise you each already have within. I've summarised my initial thoughts below. (To briefly give context to my observations, my background is in renewable energy and building services.) 1. You've highlighted a great point on the limitation of an engineer's control / knowledge, I certainly find this is often the case. Regarding the marking criteria, this perfectly fits with being 'Purposeful'. Make sure you clearly demonstrate how this principle has influenced your concept will guarantee you high marks. 2. Nice example of electrification, as it can apply to both developing and developed countries, and shows inclusivity. How wide are you casting the net for this tool? Could it also apply in a developing context, to both high-tech and low-tech engineering solutions? I.e. a project to install a solar mini-grid, and a large railway infrastructure project? Would the tool needs to be altered for each of these situations? 3. Your 4th paragraph perfectly sums up what factors this tool could consider, and how holistic is it compared to most of the current approaches, definitely something to expand on. Where might an engineer find answers to some these questions? Where should this responsibility sit for obtaining this information? I imagine manufactures and the supply chain will need to be involved. 4. Specifically on materials, check out the 'Living Building Challenge' by LFI. They have a means of measuring material sustainability: https://living-future.org/lbc/materials-petal/, could existing standards like this be incorporated? 5. As above, on embodied carbon, I've once used a tool called 'One Click LCA': https://www.oneclicklca.com/ Something like this could be integrated into your tool. 6. The most tricky marking criteria to meet may be 'Regenerative'. Similar to carbon neutral vs. carbon negative, could you your scoring system distinguish between reducing and regenerating? I.e. a score of zero would be neutral impact, to put things in context. In terms of communication, we can continue dialogue on this platform, but if you would like anything else, such as a video call, please let me know. Please feel free to respond to anything I've said, or throw out more thoughts, and hopefully our dialogue can make this idea even stronger.
