For those drawn both to engineering and a seafaring life, marine engineering and nautical science are ideal careers.
Some materials react and generate potentially helpful particles when exposed to light. Analytical AI can help scientists sort through materials to find ones with this property.
Researchers asked engineering students to tell stories about challenges they had faced. Telling the stories, students said, made them more likely to stay in their major.
When children engage with STEM concepts their visual literacy and conceptual understanding of scientific concepts are strengthened.
A civil engineer explains why roadways and rails warp and crack in the heat − and points to some innovative ways to keep the US transportation system healthy as long as possible.
The LHC is back in business for the year, but getting it ready to collect data isn’t always a straightforward process. You can’t just unplug it and plug it in again.
Safely landing a spacecraft that’s falling from the sky very quickly is easier said than done.
Spacecraft exteriors that automatically heal from radiation damage would change the game − one material shows promise.
Hubble’s technical issues continue. But through some clever engineering, the telescope can continue operations with just 1 gyroscope.
Underwater construction is a complex and difficult task, but engineers have developed several ways to build underwater … mostly by not building underwater at all.
How and why preterm birth happens is still unclear, in part because research on pregnancy tends to focus on developmental biology.
Researchers can create ‘single-cell radios’ using bacterial proteins to transmit the invisible activities within cells.
To model the inside of a supercapacitor, my team had to rework a common physics law that most high school students learn.
Ethics is often neglected in engineering education, two researchers write, despite mounting questions about how to responsibly design artificial intelligence programs.
E-textbooks have potential to enhance inclusivity and engagement in engineering education.
The collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge is already affecting global supply chains.
We’ll need to learn the lessons from this disaster.
Bridges are getting safer – but their designers need to keep up with the ever-growing size of cargo ships.
What mathematicians call ‘disordered collections’ can help engineers explore real-world worst-case scenarios. The simple card game Set illustrates how to predict internet and electrical grid failures.
