Magazines provide a great way to stay up to date with industry trends within your specific field. They offer a centralised accumulation of all relevant and current information. There are many different types of engineering magazines on the shelf. Some are geared towards entertainment and others towards detailed engineering topics. This article aims to give a general overview of engineering-related magazines for most of the main branches of engineering. These include mechanical, civil, chemical, and electrical engineering.

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.

Humans have always been curious about exploring the cosmos, reaching out to the nearby celestial bodies, and finding new paths to expand our existence in the universe. Dreams of exploring and adventuring are intrinsic to the human condition, and the prospect of travelling into the air and later into space was facilitated by developments in engineering in the modern era. After air travel became normalised, humans set their sites on the moon and stars, and later, during the Cold War, the space race led to us putting the first men on the moon.

A quick glance around the picturesque university campuses and the reasons to study at the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria become startlingly obvious - there are that many. From the facilities and exemplary standard of teaching, to the climate, landscape and opportunity to surf, the list really is exhaustive.

Portugal is fast becoming one of the most desirable places for engineers to work and study in the EU, a remarkable achievement, by all accounts. As recently as 2007, it was described as the ‘new sick man of Europe’, a moniker customarily reserved for Europe’s most stricken country, and one that has, in most cases, been notoriously difficult to shake off. Not for Portugal. Fast-forward to the present and the country finds itself in the advanced stages of a swift, and from some perspectives unexpected, recovery.

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.

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. In this article we review the top 10 universities that offer Masters programs in this specialization.

Obtaining a master’s degree in any engineering field is no simple task. It’s the culmination of years of study in an undergraduate programme, followed in some cases by years of practical industry experience. A master’s degree is definitely worth your time and effort though, as it not only allows you to stand out amongst your peers in the job market, it also takes you to a whole new level of engineering development. This article lists some of the best civil engineering master’s degrees in Europe.

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.

Civil engineers work with large structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. As a civil engineering student, internships will provide valuable industry connections and a chance to try out different areas of the work. This can help you map out a future career path and decide whether to pursue a graduate program in a specific field of study. Continue reading below for our list of the 10 best civil engineering internships in the U.S.
