About Strictly Engineering Strictly Engineering is the engineering poster competition with a difference. We challenged engineers from a wide variety of disciplines, from both academia and industry, to design a poster to engage visitors to the 2012 British Science Festival with their work. The engineers received training and mentoring about engineering’s impact on society, communication and design by professional graphic designers and science communicators and they produced the posters within this catalogue. To access bonus online content from the engineers, scan the QR codes on the posters! At the Festival, the posters were visited by a wide range of Festival-goers and the engineers had to impress both the visiting public and a distinguished panel of judges with their use of graphic design and spoken communication. The winner of Strictly Engineering was Isobel Houghton from the University of Bristol for her poster “Can you send a secret?”. If you’d like to download a high-resolution PDF of any of the posters from this project, please contact sis@britishscienceassociation.org and to find out more about the project, visit our website.
