What gift should you buy for an environmental engineer? Well, surely it’s got to be something environmentally friendly, right? Heck, should you even buy something, or should you make a gift from recycled or reclaimed materials? Would that go down better? It’s a dilemma, to be sure. Luckily for you, at NewEngineer we’ve cooked up some ideas and hunted down some of the best environmental engineering gifts money can buy. Most have an eco-friendly theme (for obvious reasons) and one or two of them you can actually make yourself, if you’ve got the time and inclination.

The robotics sector is one of the most promising and fastest-growing segments of the economy today, boosted by the rise of Industry 4.0. This growth has paved the way for various employment and promotion opportunities among robotics engineers and professionals around the world, particularly in the US, South Korea, Germany, China, and Singapore. 

There are a lot of reasons why knowing the temperature is important. For one, knowing the temperature in your surroundings will let you know how to adjust your clothing. It is very challenging to be productive during the day if your clothes aren’t appropriate for the weather you’re having. How, for instance, can you work if you’re excessively sweating or shivering?

Civil Engineers are a tricky bunch to shop for. They’re normally the type of people who have everything they need - in triplicate in case of emergencies. Many civil engineers live and breathe their job, so it makes sense to get them something related to civil engineering. But what? That’s where we can help.

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!

Mechanical Engineers are notoriously difficult to buy for. What do you get for the person who has everything? And that’s the thing - mechanical engineers tend to be pragmatic, sensible gadget lovers. So, in other words - they already have everything they could possibly need!  In all seriousness though, if your significant other, sibling, parent, or friend is a mechanical engineer, deciding what to get them is probably a difficult task. Lucky for you, we’ve done all the legwork.

Among all engineering professionals, aeronautical engineers are arguably expected to be the most informed and up-to-date on current trends and technologies. As innovators working at the cutting edge, they help develop the world’s aviation and space technology and state-of-the-art defense systems. 

A climate crisis looms over our heads. The struggle to save our planet – that is, to save ourselves – has never been more pressing. The realities of the coming catastrophe are becoming more obvious, projected daily on our television screens.

The protection of the environment should always be a priority, no matter the rate of innovation. Environmental engineers need to be up to date with the latest environmental issues, technologies, techniques, and government regulations. Attending environmental engineering conferences ensures that all projects an engineer oversees are consistently compliant with environmental regulations.

Good internship programs can help students jumpstart their careers. The quality of the internship program often helps them decide what particular skill to develop and what industry to pursue. They also help engineering students acquire skills that they may need for their first job, and can play important roles in gaining job qualifications. For students who are looking for great civil engineering internships in the United States, below are some of the best programs on offer in 2020.

Since the mechanical engineering profession focuses on the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of various mechanical devices and components, mechanical engineers are expected to be on top of their game and should be well-informed on the latest technological developments. Among the avenues mechanical engineers can use to remain competitive are the conferences offered by various organizations and relevant governing bodies. Below are some of the United States’ mechanical engineering conferences to watch out for in 2020.

Engineering conferences are great venues to network with potential clients and employees, as well as learn new techniques in the industry. Conferences are effectively a must for electrical engineers looking not only to further their careers, but also to benefit of the company they represent. Implicitly or explicitly, a company’s engineer who is sent to a conference will act to promote their employer to other vendors and potential clients.

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.

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.

The United States has some of the best universities which are popular among a growing segment of students all over the world. Education catering to the development of STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) graduates is offered with solid research support and top facilities at many prominent institutions throughout the USA. Structural Engineering is categorized under the ‘Engineering’ segment of STEM and is a specialty of civil engineering.

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.

Since the discovery of the immense benefits of nuclear radiation and energy, the technology has grown into a major component of various industries. These industries include: electricity generation, medicine and defence. This has invariably led to a high demand for nuclear engineers. These engineers are required to research, invent and maintain systems and equipment that harness the benefits of nuclear engineering as well as curb its dangers. Hence, there are hundreds of companies who require the services of nuclear engineers.

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!

Architectural engineers are professionals who study the planning, design, construction, and operation of engineered systems for different types of buildings. Their jobs share similarities with those of civil engineers in terms of tasks and specializations, but also feature differences which make the career field distinct. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an annual increase of 8.4% is expected until 2024 for civil engineers, including architectural engineers, due to the need for improvements and repairs to existing and aging infrastructure.
