As an engineer, it is extremely important to stay current within your industry. Those who do not stay current will quickly find themselves left behind and will thus be unable to innovate on new technologies. Listed below are 10 civil engineering conferences to attend in 2019. The list is divided up into 4 categories namely; materials science engineering, water treatment engineering, new construction techniques and sustainable engineering.

Mechatronics is an emerging field of engineering. It focuses on the unification of subjects like mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to create complicated machines that use multiple technologies. Movable prosthesis, robots programmed for specific tasks, and many other incredible developments are now possible. These are just some examples of practical uses for mechatronics in modern life thanks to technological advances in robotics and artificial intelligence.

Modern times sure are interesting. The human race overall stands at its peak of technological advancement, seemingly making ever more futuristic inventions more accessible for every one of us. Engineering and overall technology have made sure that our basic –and not so basic–needs are not even in our top concerns, and we can confidently take them as a given.

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.

Environmental engineers deal with the protection of the natural environment from harmful elements such as pollution and contamination. They may also work on industrial processes in various factory settings and can specialize in areas such as air, water, or waste management. In addition, environmental engineers should stay up-to-date on regulatory procedures and environmental guidelines. Attending conferences is one such way for professionals to stay up-to-date. Continue reading below for the top five environmental engineering conferences in 2019.

Manufacturing is a complex field that incorporates engineering, industrial design, materials science, leadership, and management. The engineering aspect, 'manufacturing engineering', is all about improving productivity and efficiency, and better understanding the engineering procedures in the production process.

Whether it’s Christmas or an upcoming birthday, gifts are a fantastic way to show another person you care. If you’re lucky enough to have an engineer as your nearest and dearest, or perhaps work with one, then you’ll want to make sure you find a gift that someone with such a curious and logical mindset will really appreciate. Any ideas? Fear not. Even though not all engineers specialize in the same field or have the same hobbies, these 10 cool gifts will make (almost) every engineer as happy as a kid on Christmas morning.

Friends, engineers, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to make a request of you - don’t worry, its a short and relatively painless one. Here at NewEngineer, we are conducting research into the career paths of our beloved engineers.
