The article discusses the fundamentals in building an offshore wind turbine which is primarily concentrated on the soil. It informs on the differences and challenges between building a traditional offshore oil and gas platforms which rely on gravity and wind turbines which are dependent on soil stiffness and the whole structure. It also discusses the role of scientists and engineers and the facilities required in determining soil strength under forceful loads.

The article announces that the Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair has received the 2012 Rooke Medal from the Royal Academy of Engineering.

The author comments on the challenge for the environmental engineering profession to look at actions that may mitigate the effects of global warming and to adapt current practices and policies to the changing world. He says that majority of scientists and engineers are convinced that the use of carbon fuels is a significant contributor to global warming. He mentions some functions of environmental engineering including discovering, measuring, establishing and codifying certainties of life.

The article offers news briefs related to Engineering Council United Kingdom. Lord Sainsbury, the Minister for Science and Technology, has stated that professional registration could play a significant role in the development of a skilled technician workforce, which is a key part of the government's skills strategy. Scientists, engineers, and technologists are invited to participate in the Athena Project's ASSET 2006 survey, which involves completing an on-line questionnaire. Professional engineers will be delighted to hear that the British financial services industry no longer appears to regard them as untrustworthy.
