Abstract
Engineering and technology is behind everything from smart phones to running water. Despite the significant role they play in our day to day lives, there is a lack of engineering involvement in Government.
Both engineers and parliamentarians serve the public but joint work can improve policy making and avoid repeated failures. Parliamentarians need robust impartial expertise and engineers can provide technical knowledge and whole-system analysis. Strategic decisions that impact society can’t be made in silos. Do you think engineers can improve policy making?
