Spotlight
For Hadis Zarrin, life as an engineer is an adventure. ���There are always problems to solve, and many possible routes to get to the solution,��� she says. ���You have to take risks and get creative.���
It���s a sensibility she brings to her classroom, which Zarrin keeps exciting with hands-on demonstrations that engage and challenge her students. A natural mentor, she���s always encouraging them to be undeterred by the prospect of failure, and to branch out and explore new things. ���It���s the only way to grow and develop, as an engineer and as a person.���
While creativity and a sense of adventure are crucial to innovation, Zarrin is quick to remind her students of the importance of mastering the foundations. ���Before you can invent and redesign, you need a solid knowledge of materials,��� she says. ���Once you have that, you can get as creative as you want���improving technology and really making an impact.���
