Description: Examines the ground-breaking research of several engineers working at facilities in the United States who have made major contributions to architecture, biomedical engineering, alternative energy source production, and computer technology. The practical applications of their work range from constructing earthquake resistant buildings and creating computer-generated, three-dimensional models to designing devices for monitoring bloodflow in premature infants and enabling paraplegics to walk. Women, minorities, and people with handicapping conditions are broadly, and positively, represented throughout. Narrated by Dick Cavett.
