This volume is dedicated to Professor Nathu Ram Puri CBE, whose advice and guidance played an important role in taking forward my initial work on reinventing science and engineering curriculum. His creative thinking (sometimes described unorthodox by his peers) underpinning engineering business innovation set a benchmark for others to aspire for. His passion and commitment to creating pathways for generating future leaders of science and engineering businesses is unmatched. Professor Puri’s legacy continues through the Nathu Puri Institute established through generous funding from Puri Foundation for Education, which also supports thousands of schools, colleges and universities around the world.
