For many civil engineers, conferences provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and connect with new people working in the field, as well as stay up-to-date on the latest trends in the industry. Like other engineering disciplines, numerous conferences dedicated to civil engineering are held around the world each year, with many on the continent of Europe alone.

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.

Do you want to be more knowledgeable in the field of engineering? Well, look no further!

Biomedical engineering is a growth industry that applies engineering techniques and design principles to medicine. The overall purpose of biomedical engineering is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of medical diagnosis and treatment.

3D printing is past the stage of being a niche technology, and has planted its feet firmly in the manufacturing industry. Its growth shows no signs of slowing down and it is therefore important to stay up to date with the latest trends and innovations. The most efficient way to this is through networking with 3D printing practitioners, researchers and OEMs. Conferences are a great place to meet such people. This article aims to provide a list of conferences covering various 3D printing topics that can be attended within the next 6 months.

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. Here are the top 10 insightful or entertaining engineering quotes. For information about engineering jobs, head over to our job listings section.

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.

Civil engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the design and construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other large-scale structures. It is an established profession that has existed since the establishment of the first permanent human settlements.

Who’s the greatest engineer of all time? That’s an open question with no right or wrong answer; only opinions, theories and opportunities for debate. Thankfully, there are plenty of engineers who have gone before us and paved the path to a modern world that grants us access to so many inventions - inventions that make our lives easier.  

There’s nothing better than a funny meme to brighten up a dull day. Well, only if they make you LOL heartily. So, especially for you, we’ve got our engineering meme game on and compiled 10 of the best. If you’re at home kick back and enjoy some well-earned laughs. Or, if you’re in work or uni – get on with that design/as-built/research/assignment you lazy so-and-so! Hate memes? Well, maybe you will find comfort from our list of 10 things ALL Engineers hate.

Prepare to be enraged. This list may well make your blood boil and your skin creep. But you’ll probably find yourself nodding along in agreement. We’re a special breed, us engineers and we all seem to have very similar dislikes. So, in no particular order, here are the top ten things that engineers hate.

Electrical engineering stands as one of the most applicable professions across a wide spectrum of industries. An electrical engineer is capable of studying and applying principles of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism to make technology act the way we want and expect it to.

’Necessity is the mother of invention’ is a phrase we’ve all heard at one time or another no doubt. As humans, we’re hard-wired to think about the problems we face in life and try and come up with solutions to them, solutions which facilitate us and others around us. The invention of the wheel is a classic example.

Engineering is a profession that applies the principles of math and science to practical problems. In the U.S., an undergraduate engineering degree usually takes four years and can cost up to tens of thousands of dollars. Graduate programs can take anywhere between two to six years and add more to the cost of an undergraduate degree. Luckily, many scholarship programs are available to help students offset those costs.

As an engineer, you’ll realise it’s important to stay current with any new technological breakthroughs as they may benefit you in your career. Even if they don’t directly impact your career, new technologies are always interesting and will boost your passion for engineering. In this article we will explore some YouTube videos that every engineer should watch. If you are planning on studying engineering then these videos will definitely convince you that it’s a field of expertise that can lead to a most interesting career.

We all know that engineers are far too busy working on the latest projects and getting to grips with ever-changing technology to actually sit down and watch the idiot-box. Well, perhaps that’s not strictly true – we all need a break sometimes. And who doesn’t like to kick back now and again with the remote control in one hand and light (or not-so-light) beverage in the other? So, without further ado let’s take a look at some top TV shows that engineers will love (in no particular order).

Richard, organizer of the original Bitcoin, Ethereum and Blockchain Super Conference, held in February, is hosting a follow-up conference in September. Like the first conference, the second offers attendees a rare opportunity to network with many of the most respected players in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space – including developers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and “smart money” hedge fund managers who are now piling their capital into blockchain assets.

Computer engineering is a hybrid between electronic engineering and software engineering and its focus is to develop hardware and software systems. Due to the complexity and rate of change in technology in this field, it is imperative for a computer engineer’s knowledge and skills to remain up to date. The most efficient way to achieve this is by attending conferences as these concentrate new developments in one place. Software engineering refers to the creation of programs that can perform a defined set of functions through coding.
