Engineer, artist, mathematician, thinker: Leonardo da Vinci was all these and more.
Researchers find promising results for two programs patterned after the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, a renowned initiative launched at UMBC in the 1980s and known to increase diversity in STEM.
As Leonardo da Vinci found centuries ago, scholars of art, design, engineering and science can work together for mutual benefit.
Technological advances and discoveries are moving at a rate faster than engineering education can keep up with. The solution is a revised approach to teaching engineering.
Recreating freak waves can tell us a lot about the nature of the sea.
Its billionaire boss was a strong supporter of exiting the EU. Now the company is moving its headquarters out of Britain, too.
Hazardous professions including agriculture and heavy engineering are already having to find ways to adapt.
The skills shortage in the foundry sector shows there is a continuing demand for “traditional” trades.
MIT researchers have built ion thrusters with no moving parts pave the way for silent drones.
Health care relies on increasingly sophisticated devices for implanting into the body or monitoring it. Yet most med school graduates are not versed in engineering. That needs to change.
While a divided Congress will likely mean gridlock, there are two economic policies likely to see significant change: trade and infrastructure.
