Glass is produced from sand, is easy to recycle, and can be used to make concrete without any complex processing.
Colleges don’t have to sit by and watch STEM majors leave for other fields. Two Ph.D. biology students share tips for encouraging students to stick with STEM despite the difficulty involved.
It’s easy for researchers to fall back on using test subjects from the communities around them – students and employees. Branching out is key to avoiding technology that fails certain populations.
Solving mathematical equations is only part of the job. Students should be spending more time thinking about the human dimensions of the problems they are trying to solve.
Could it be that girls aren’t pursuing jobs in computer science and engineering because society has told them that’s not what they want to do? Three scholars weigh in.
A survey of 251 women engineers who graduated from college in the 1970s sheds light on the experiences of these professional pioneers.
Current methods of road carnage prevention in Ghana have proved unsuccessful .
In the male-dominated engineering industry, where women represent only about 11% of the workforce, gender influences whom individuals turn to for answers to questions.
Air-ventilation upgrades have been badly needed in U.S. classrooms since long before the pandemic. Low-tech filtration systems that cost about the same as a textbook per student can make a big difference.
Fish fins are extremely flexible yet also strong. A special segmented fin design is the key to this useful combination of properties and could inspire new morphing materials.
The Miami apartment collapse is a grim reminder of why engineering matters, and why comprehensive education in ethics should be embedded in the training of engineers.
Some of the most powerful offshore wind is over water too deep for a standard wind turbine. Engineers found a way around the problem.
Picture books and young adult biographies can introduce kids to design-based thinking and engineering habits like creativity and persistence.
Investigators are searching for what caused the tall apartment building near Miami to suddenly fail. What they find could lead to changes in building codes.
Construction experts explain the various factors that likely came into play, leading to the collapse of a building which had reportedly been sinking for some time.
Applying cultural sensitivity in teaching STEM to Black students can help them engage in the sciences more.
Three private companies have recently been commissioned to develop nuclear fission thermal rockets for use in orbit around the Moon.
A mechanical engineer brings her personal experiences to address human-centered problems and encourage ‘compassionate design.’
Electric vehicles can have more than one source of power, meaning they can be controlled better.
