WHAT and WHO inspired you to become an engineer

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

    I think I just had a series of really good science teachers who made sciences (except maybe Chemistry which I've never got the hang of!) really interesting and enjoyable. 



    My Dad was very suportive of me learning about science and put up with me scouring the garden for bugs and loosing them in the house when I was little or mucking about with the contents of the kitchen trying to grow crystals. My parents got me varoius science related toys etc even though they are not very sciency themselves.
