Which famous engineer should be on an element14 sticker?

Michael Faraday is my top choice from your list and Katherine Johnson is second; although they have all accomplished some outstanding work in their time.

(Some) other possible candidates I would suggest for engineering or engineering mathematics would be:

• Thomas Newcomen for his atmospheric engine (the early steam engine)
• Sir Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Clifton Suspension Bridge
• James Clerk Maxwell for giving us a set of equations with his name on!
• Gustave Eiffel - no need to ask what he built
• William Shockley/Gerald Pearson for the first transistor (or perhaps Julius Lilienfield ?)
• Leon Thevenin - for circuit theory and analysis
• Leonhard Euler - responsible for lots of great engineering maths and the bane of many a perplexed school pupil
• And Nikolaus Otto - without his work we'd have no drive throu's !

Faraday and Hedy Lamarr

If we are talking engineers rather than scientists, physicists and mathematicians I would add Tommy Flowers.

Although Alan Turing rightly gets a lot of credit for "inventing" computers, it was Tommy Flowers who designed and (with other engineers from the British Post Office) built the first one (Colossus) and delivered it to Bletchley Park in the 1940s. It worked exactly as planned and helped the UK decrypt messages sent using the Germans' Geheimschreiber machine. Although everybody knows about the Enigma machine, the Geheimschreiber offered far greater security than Enigma - and Alan Turing's Bombes were simply not fast enough to decode the messages. The biggest technological advance introduced by Flowers was the use of several thousand electronic valves in a single device, instead of the mechanical relays used by the Bombes. Bletchley Park did not believe that using valves in such numbers would be practical because of reliability but Flowers knew that, as long as they were left running, they would prove to be very reliable, as well as being many times faster than relays. The success of the first Colossus led to another ten being built. After the war, they were all destroyed, along with the plans, and Tommy Flowers has never enjoyed the recognition that he deserved. Ironically, some plans did survive as they had been shared with the US secret services, and those were later used to recreate Colossus. A working replica can be seen in operation now at Bletchley Park.

The Tesla sticker was great.. cstanton  gave me some. One was on my old laptop until I changed it. It also had the star wars stickers on it too from element14.

They are all excellent candidates, if we were voting for shapes, perhaps 2-inch squares or circles could be awesome for laptops (I'm biased because mine (Microsoft) has a square windows design on it, and if I had them then they would go nicely with it : ).

Hard to get royalty free images that can be used without permission with folks who are our contemporaries. . .

the poll function (as far as i can tell) only allows ONE vote

Do they have to be dead? My vote would be for Steve Wozniak and Limor "LadyAda" Fried.

I would vote for Michael Faraday and Katherine Johnson.  Stickers? That is pretty cool. Sign me up.

I´d vote for Hedy lamarr and Katherina Johnson!

You have some great scientists, physicists and mathematicians in the list.

Beulah Henry and Tom Edison were great inventor/engineer types.

I would include Al Bell, Reggie Fessenden, Lee De Forest as great electrical inventor/engineers.
