  • 4. Ep 98: So, AI goes for a Scuba Dive?

    55:33||Season 3, Ep. 4
    AI can be good. So good, that we are now seeing models that are being developed to map and potentially tell us the behaviour of Coral Reefs. Coral reefs make up less than 1% of the world and host around 25% of marine species. They are much more important than you may think they are! In this episode, we dive deep into the causes of coral bleaching and it's implications, plus exploring the technology used around AI for spatial mapping from the following article: https://newatlas.com/science/deepreefmap-video-footage-3d-coral-reef-maps/Don't miss the action across our socials! subscribe to the podcast and follow us on:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EngineeringDadYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EngineeringDadsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EngineeringDadsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/engineering.dads/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@engineering.dads
  • 3. Ep 97: Engineering from Around the World

    01:06:02||Season 3, Ep. 3
    WE'RE BACK! The Engineering Dads have been on their own little adventures. Exploring the depths of the Earth. Well not really, but we've been away to USA and Japan (which as you know by now is our favourite place). It's interesting to see how different countries around the world do engineering, what the standards and regulations are, and how it compares to us back here in Australia. Tune in to hear some of the key aspects including infrastructure, agriculture, electric vehicles, and more!Don't miss the action across our socials!, subscribe to the podcast and follow us on:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EngineeringDadYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EngineeringDadsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EngineeringDadsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/engineering.dads/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@engineering.dads
  • 2. Ep 96: Nuclear Fusion - A Star Builders Dream

    40:12||Season 3, Ep. 2
    The world's journey to diversify clean energy technology continues, but does nuclear have a part to play in this? Last episode, we discussed our predictions, which involved nuclear fusion (not to be confused with fission!). Tune in to hear all things nuclear fusion and the potential of reactors like Tokamak and when we expect it to really fire up and start providing power to our planet!World-first fusion device to be built at UNSW SydneyDon't miss the action across our socials!, subscribe to the podcast and follow us on:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EngineeringDadYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EngineeringDadsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EngineeringDadsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/engineering.dads/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@engineering.dads
