Today's podcast features systems engineer Kelly Burke. As someone who is not just a brilliant engineer, but also a talented tailor and gardener, Kelly is the epitome of the notion that none of us are ever just one thing - we are ALL complex creatures. Listen in for some funny stories about how sewing can be used to solve certain engineering challenges, the pitfalls of exploding flour, creating a career that doesn't solely define your life, and finding resources and outlets to suit your interests.
Speaking of resources, here are a few that Kelly refers to in the podcast, perfect for any budding engineers or even those simply interested in how things work:
