The commercial design sector is paying more attention to the connection between the design of workplaces and the health of those who work there. Commercial designers are encountering increased pressure to supply spaces and maximise productivity and performance, which also means paying attention to workers happiness and well being. From the temperature of the environment to the amount of light in the space to the placement of furniture configurations, designers are being expected to come up with ever inventive workplaces. Whilst many are taking the injection of fun as an approach to solving well being issues, with incorporation of, for example, bean bag areas, or game spaces, there is much more to it.

Engineering and the Politics of the UK
Even though
the general election in the UK is still many months away, it has already become
quite an exciting event. With so much political turbulence in the UK in recent
years, voters seem incredibly keen to have their say this time round. When it
comes to policy, there are always so many dividing factors that it can be hard
to keep track. But how will the general election impact upon the lives and
careers of those in the field of engineering?
When
considering politicians policy in regards to engineering, it seems we are
practically in the dark. Not much has been said on the topic it regards to what
actually might or might not happen – and that has left many in the UK asking
questions amongst themselves.
