How can engineering address human rights issues? Across Peru, thousands of people do not have access to clean water or efficient transport links. Dr Davis Chacon-Hurtado , a Peruvian engineer at the University of Connecticut in the US, is using a human rights-based approach to engineering to solve these problems.

The results (which ultimately rely on all sorts of specific engineering) are remarkably “human like”. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. There had been precursors of steam engines even in antiquity, but it was only in 1712 that the first practical steam engine was developed. Lazare Carnot died in 1823.

His father ’s university engineering studies had been cut short by the Russian Revolution, and he now had a one-man wholesale electronic parts business. And the person he saw there was their “vice president of engineering psychology”—a certain J. He’s not doing “science” and “empirically seeing what cellular automata do”.
