’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.

Mechanical engineering is a diverse branch of engineering that deals with the design of objects in motion. This includes machines, mechanical components, and large objects like clocks and cars. Graduates of a Master’s program in mechanical engineering can expect to work in consulting, management, banking, and even medicine. And with automation and Artificial Intelligence becoming an ever-growing field, engineers who can design and build things that machines aren't able to will be highly sought after in the near future.

The Mechanical Engineering discipline is the most broadly defined engineering discipline and comprises two major areas of expertise: mechanical systems and thermal systems. There are many overlaps between it and other major engineering disciplines such as aeronautical, civil, petroleum, electrical and metallurgical.

Organizers of the second Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference (which is being held in September at Dallas) are running a special promotion. Attendees who reserve their spot before midnight on Sunday May 6th will be able to add “companion” tickets for just $97 per head.

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.

A good civil engineering degree from a respected European university offers a wealth of career opportunities, especially in today’s global economy. You could find yourself working on some of the most exciting and large-scale projects in Europe or abroad. If you prefer, you can work in more low-key fields of civil engineering that really interest you such as geotechnics or fluid dynamics. This article will give you an idea of how to find a degree course that is right for you and suggest ten of the best courses in Europe.

Richard Jacobs (organizer of the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference, which took place in Dallas in February) is hosting a new conference in September. He’s bringing together more than a hundred respected players from blockchain, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, virtual reality, and other future tech spaces – so they can show you how “smart money” is already buying its way into the future tech gold rush, and how smaller private investors can get in early too.

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.

When you mention the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it applies to engineering, most people’s thoughts turn to the manufacturing industry. Undoubtedly, the use of internet-enabled devices that link up, communicate and work with each other will revolutionise factory work. It will make assembly line processes more streamlined and cost-efficient. But, there are also plenty of uses for IoT technology in the traditionally, more ‘manual’ environments of construction and infrastructure projects. It’s estimated that IoT will have an economic impact of $6.2 trillion by 2025.

A masters in Industrial Engineering gives you all the skills you need to gain employment in manufacturing, managing supply chain systems, or warehousing. You will learn how to apply 21st-century technology solutions to manufacturing challenges. Many courses also offer modules in mathematical modelling, simulation and optimisation. An Industrial Engineering masters can lead to a number of careers including maintenance engineer, quality control manager, systems engineer, sales engineer, etc.

Technological capabilities have evolved at an astounding pace in the last century, and with such an incredible rate of changes, inevitably some people are going to get stuck in the ever-evolving paradigms that dictate how society, businesses, and overall life works.

The industrial revolution came in the middle of the 18th century to change everyone’s lives for good. With the invention of machines, most jobs and tasks that were previously performed by manual labour (humans and/or animals) were replaced by new and more efficient methods.It also meant that previous tasks that were unimaginable before were now possible, which lead to the most significant paradigm shift humanity had ever experienced.

Top 5 Engineering Reads that will Increase your Value as an Engineer There are few things better than sitting down with a good book to pass the time. If this book happens to improve your skills as an engineer as well as being an interesting read, then it’s even better. This article is split into two main categories of books; those that cover soft skills, and those that look at design & development. These are topics that can have a direct and measurable impact on your career. The listed books can act as a force multiplier.

As with any highly technical field, it is extremely important to stay up to date with all advances in your specific area of expertise. The conferences listed below are made up of 5 main categories, namely, materials science, finite element analysis, additive manufacturing, traditional manufacturing, and robotics. This is by no means a complete list; however, it aims to be relevant to most, if not all branches of mechanical engineering.

As additive manufacturing begins to take off at an exponential rate it is often difficult to stay current with the constantly evolving technologies and applications. The best method to learn is to have some face to face time with the experts. The highest density of experts will always be at tradeshows.

As an engineer it is often necessary to turn the theoretical musings of scientists into practical real-world applications. Listed below are some of the more exciting developments that are set to drastically change the engineering landscape.

As the end of 2017 approaches we tend to reflect on our achievements of the past year and have our own internal performance review. A lucky few people are completely content with how the year played out. The rest of us are left with a feeling that we could have done more, learnt more and  pushed just a bit harder. So, with this general feeling comes the annual tradition of making a new year’s resolution. As engineers we are not immune to this.

Any technology that is always on, user-controlled, accessible and portable that is attached to the user’s physical space can be broadly considered as wearable technology. Its concept has been around since the advent of the “Calculator Watch” in the 1970s. Today, this definition would apply to a device which is akin to a computer in terms of interaction and capabilities.

NewEngineer.com are proud to announce their partnership with the Congress for Exchange of Strategies, Innovations, and Solutions (CESIS), for their event in Munich, Germany on February 20 – 21, 2018. CESIS is the international Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) flagship event.
