Nuclear Fusion, what once would seem like nothing but science fiction, is keeping us on our feet! Join us to hear a round the table discussion of the latest feats in Nuclear Fusion and where all things Nuclear are heading in the future near and far.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

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

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

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

Just like like last year, we're back to review how right (or how wrong) we were with our 2023 predictions! Sean and James make some wild predictions for 2024 of which direction tech will take this year, ranging from social media, nuclear fusion, lab-grown meat... Plus many more!

The boys can't keep their eyes on the stars. Today, we're talking about the latest space race, where nations have a series of upcoming space missions that will determine well, you guessed it, who wins the space race! With the falcon9 launches absolutely obliterating records of the chart this year, we also delve deep into the technical side of the falcon9 and some other upcoming exciting missions, which are sure to help shape the future of space flight.Related links:Three robotic missions target Moon landings over one week in January – Spaceflight Now Launch Schedule – Spaceflight Now Falcon 9 flies from California with 22 Starlink satellites, SpaceX’s 100th launch in 365 days – Spaceflight Now SpaceX Starship flight tests - Wikipedia FAQs: The International Space Station Transition Plan - NASA If you like what you hear, consider subscribing to the podcast and following us on our socials: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

We discuss with Dr Sasha Nikolic, the engineering education leader at the University of Wollongong the outlook on using AI in the education sector. Dr Nikolic has recently published a paper on ChatGPT versus engineering education assessment. In this podcast, we cover many questions that have been floating around this area like the accuracy of using AI for education and assessment, the future outlook for AI in education, and general strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats that were observed when using chatGPT in education assessment.If you like what you hear, consider subscribing to the podcast and following us on our socials: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

We now officially own two Tesla's across the Engineering Dads and are absolutely loving the speedy, self-driving, highly sound-engineered, luxurious, and CHEAP machine. That's right, cheap! In this podcast, we talk about how you can afford a Tesla without making the salary of a high-level executive!If you like what you hear, consider subscribing to the podcast and following us on our socials: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
