WHAT and WHO inspired you to become an engineer

Suzanne Flynn
I am carrying out an unscientific piece of research.  Please can you help me by telling me WHAT inspired you to become and engineer and WHO inspired you to become an engineer?  I am hoping to use the anonymized information at a networking event for IET Fellows later in the year.  Thanks for your help.  Suzanne Flynn, Deputy Chair, IET Fellows Panel

    WOW! My father was also a painter and decorator, and encouraged me to make things. He was never a radio ham - but he was a radio operator during WWI. So I learned Morse code (and forgot it) at an early age. Having left my convent in 1963, I worked for two years getting an HNC in Applied Physics before attending City from 1965 to 1969.



    So I think I'm two years older than you.
