Engineers are better known for their actions rather than words. But that hasn’t stopped some of the top engineers saying some pretty profound (or in some cases, downright hilarious) things. Engineers of all backgrounds and walks of life have insightful things to say about the discipline and life itself - even if sometimes, the quotes around 

With the advent of online shopping and next-day delivery, your gift-buying troubles can be somewhat alleviated knowing it’s never been easier to cop a cool present over the internet and even have it wrapped for you before it arrives, saving you the trouble of doing, well, anything, really. Luckily, this logic still stands when you’re buying for an engineer - even when the engineer’s your dad, and you’re buying something for Father’s Day (which in the English speaking world, lands on the third Sunday in June).

Do you want to be more knowledgeable in the field of engineering? Well, look no further! Whether you are walking your dog, driving a car, or travelling in a bus, a podcast can be your best friend - it is reliable, obedient and will rarely let you down (unless your phone runs out of battery). Initially introduced to be used only on your iPod, podcasting has since become a hugely successful industry, covering almost every possible topic you can think of, from making the perfect omelette, to the best way to groom your pet cat. Essential knowledge, you must admit!

The App Store is a wonderful place, full of things that can make your procrastination easier, more efficient, more fun. From Candy Crush to Fruit Ninja to Ballz, there are millions of ways to not get done what it was you wanted to do, whether that's working, studying, or spending time with your family.

As isolation and the coronavirus become a part of daily life and all industries are affected, the true extent of the ramifications of this pandemic have become a little clearer. Engineering, too, is not immune to the illness which has already taken thousands of lives, and is set to take thousands more. The sector will face dramatic changes over the coming months as it attempts to adapt and survive in a world where for many people even going outside is banned. So what is the fate of engineering?

What does the future hold for engineering? Perhaps we won’t know the answer until it arrives; when it comes to a field with such breadth as this, anything is possible. One thing’s for certain, though: artificial intelligence will play an enormous role in what happens to the discipline over the next few years. It’s already shaping the manufacturing industry and it won’t be long before all engineering specialisations are transformed in one way or another by this revolutionary technology.

While in recent decades women’s participation in the labour market has significantly increased, wide gender gaps still persist. Broadly speaking, women’s working conditions tend to be worse, particularly remuneration; glass ceilings often block career progress, stifling motivation; and achievement goes less recognised, denting morale. Job opportunity, too, is restricted, some areas of work demarcated, implicitly, if not explicitly, as ‘men’s only’. Make no mistake: equality of the sexes is still some way off.

Modern times sure are interesting. The human race stands at the peak of technological advancement, making futuristic inventions that are increasingly accessible for each and every one of us. Most of our basic – and not so basic – needs have been taken care of by one invention of another. And lots of these inventions have become so embedded in our lives we have forgotten what it was like before they existed!

Graduating with a degree in software engineering is just the start of an exciting career. Whether you are a recent graduate, or you’ve been working as a software engineer for years, there are some cities which offer better opportunities than others. This article will open your eyes to the top 10 cities for software engineering jobs. Some of the cities everyone will know about, but a few will surprise you. Let’s dive right in. Check out our software engineering job listings

What kind of movies appeal to engineers? That’s a good question. You have to think about what kind of people engineers (generally) are – problem solvers, innovators, logical thinkers, action takers. Then it becomes pretty obvious. We like films about engineering. Maybe some maths. Sci-fi elements perhaps? And of course, plenty of good old-fashioned action.

Civil engineering is a profession that implements the design and construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other large-scale structures necessary for society. It can be broken down into many sub-disciplines such as environmental engineering and transportation engineering. Obtaining a general degree in civil engineering can lead to many career paths. Continue reading below to see our list of the most in-demand jobs in civil engineering.

Ok, so engineers aren’t necessarily renowned for their scintillating wit. But there are a lot of in-jokes in engineering. We do a job that most people really don’t understand, which means there is a rich vein of comedy material that only us engineers will understand. We’ve looked high and low for some of the best engineering jokes. Some will make you groan. Others laugh out loud. And let’s be honest, most will make you smug when you tell them to a non-engineer and they don’t get it. Enjoy!

Are you interested in studying the science behind human diseases and what causes them? Perhaps you’re more interested in the engineering technology that leads to improved diagnosis and treatment. In either case, a Biomedical Engineering Master's might just be for you. There are plenty of job opportunities for biomedical engineers in areas such as medical diagnostics, healthcare professions, clinical research, plus many more. In this article, we’ll have a look at some of the top Master’s degrees that you might want to consider.

Engineers are, by definition, problem solvers and innovators. Whether it’s to do with transportation, buildings, medical devices or energy sources, engineers are always looking for ways to make everyday life better for their fellow human beings. With the rapid rate at which changes are taking place in the world today, we all have to keep on our toes to stay ahead of the curve, and this is especially true in the engineering world. To this end, here are 8 of the greatest challenges engineers can expect to face in the next decade.

Energy is the lifeblood of modern industry. Without extraordinary amounts of it, our modern lifestyles will come crashing down in front of us. If you’re reading this article you already know this and are looking at expanding your knowledge in the field of energy engineering. Energy engineering is the field of using different technologies to extract the many forms of energy from the environment and to convert it into useable electric energy. This article lists what we believe are the 11 best Master's programs in energy engineering currently available.
