I am in search of an electrical engineer to interview for a student run podcast. Students are working on an informational essay answering the question "How does electricity work and how did it impact the economy during the Turn of the Century?". A select group of students will be answering this question via a podcast as well. These students will be researching the Coca Cola Company as this company was around at the turn of the century and still is a power house today. If you or someone you know is an electrical engineer at the Coca Cola Company, I would love to reach out to them to see if they are interested in helping with this project!
