Description
The episode begins with the fourth and final segment on Women in Engineering (1:00) to celebrate International Women`s Day (March 8th) and National Engineering Month in Canada. This week’s segment is about Elsie MacGill; the first female engineer.
This week I’m covering an engineering marvel, and one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the Channel Tunnel (6:00). On this episode, I will tell you about the tunnel construction (8:00), the cooling and ventilation systems (9:45), and the rail system (14:45). But even the most impressive engineering isn’t without its own problems. The Chunnel has experienced problems with fires (16:30) and train breakdowns (20:00).
