2. Watch the video again with subtitles and answer these questions.
2.1 What is mechatronics?

// Is a combination of the electronic and mecanic engeniering

2.2 What is her project about?
//The project about is the reinventing the heliostats

2.3 What is a heliostat?

//the heliostat that redirect sunlinght onto a central tower

2.4 What is the current problem with heliostats?

//the problem of the heliostats are very large structures

2.5 How is her project improving the problem with heliostats?

//

2.6 What are the materials and working process of the new
heliostats?
//the materials are made out of plastic and they are run by air out of
metal and run by motors

2.7 What is the process she uses to design a heliostat?

//embedded systems and control for the heliostats

2.8 What is the comparison she makes about small and large
companies?

//the small where you have more creativity and independence and a
large company where there is more job security but also more structure

2.9 According to Leila Madrone, how is a great engineer?

//to be a great engineer you need tobe a great engineer you need to
love creating
