I need a persuasive speech topic that will "persuade my audiece to action" relating to engineering. Ideas anyone?
Thanks
Thanks
In what way do you want to persuade your audience to action? Do you want them to take up arms and kill their opressors? Do you wan them to commit mass suicide? Do you want them to go out and study some engineering subject? Do you want them to discover cold fusion?
Anyway, if you want to enthuse people for engineering studies (my guess is that that is what you want to accomplish), going with an example of real-life applications of engineering is a good choice. Like how automotive engineering made our cars safer/ cleaner/ugliermore beautiful.
I've been thinking about turbo-charging, convincing them it's a cheap, easy way to get more power and better economy out of a otherwise weak engine, and presenting it as an alternative for them to consider next time they look at buying a new car. As opposed to hybrids and ethanol vehicles.
How about turbodiesel engines (Bluetec for example) or VW's TSI technology? They're both great alternatives to Hybrids.
Not very many - I think that there is a thread with some info in it. I seem to recall that only VW seems to try to sell Diesel cars in the US at all. May be one or two others. I'll have a hunt around for you.
/EDIT well not too good :

there are a CRAPTON(actual measurement) of turbo-diesels on sale in the US, they're just all in trucks.
Convince them that Gasoline Hybrids are a dead-end technology, and that it would be better for the environment to burn all the Pri'i than it would be to drive them.
