Which TV or Movie Engineer is your favourite and why?

Lisa Miles
A bit of Friday Fun for you all this Friday afternoon. smiley


I'm not sure if you'd agree with me but I think over recent years there's been an increase in the number of engineering related characters in TV programmes and movies. Probably with the intention of giving children positive role models for a career in Engineering perhaps? 


So who is your favourite (or least favourite!) TV or movie Engineer and why?


There's no prizes for guessing who mine is.... wink

    Great Friday question Lisa :)


    I agree there's been a rise in engineers in TV and movies, though perhaps that's due to the type of shows/movies that are being made at the moment??


    Couple of my faves include:

    Cisco on The Flash - can make anything and everything Team Flash need to trap the latest Meta of the week (plus comes up with the awesome nicknames for the heroes and villains!)

    Kaylee on Firefly - had a sixth sense with their ship Serenity and almost always knew how to fix it.


    Special mentions

    Kate McKinnon's character in the new Ghostbusters (Jillian Holtzmann a quick Google search tells me) - a left field choice but I watched the movie recently and thought her character was great (and because of working of the IET I understood a few more of the words she used!!)

    Howard from Big Bang Theory - this is a bit of a marmite show, but you can't deny that it's one of the biggest TV shows at the moment. I think some of the amazing things his character has gotten to do has really helped exposure of engineering as a career.
