Engineering The 21st Century

By Jen Nathan on Monday, September 7, 2009.

This Labor Day, Word of Mouth is stepping away from the microphone to bring you a look at dream jobs of the new millennium. We’ll meet a robotics engineer, a video game designer, and a special effects creator working in Bollywood. We’ll hear from people pursuing their passions and career paths with purpose, like a hydroelectric engineer who is bringing electricity to remote areas of Fiji. Spectrum Radio traveled to four continents to profile people whose innovative careers are engineering the 21st century.
