At first glance, engineering and music may seem worlds apart. But when we look closer, the impact of engineering on the music industry cannot be underestimated. In the second part of a series on “Engineering in Pop Culture”, we look at how engineering has influenced music and what happens when their paths cross. Over the years, engineers have altered how music is created, performed, recorded, stored, transmitted, and heard.

Are you in your final years of university and wondering what’s next? For a large majority, this means entering the so-called 'real world' and searching for a job. Some others might decide to take an extra Master's or PhD course to further their academic achievements, but if you’re in the majority, you will be looking for your first position as a professional in the engineering sector. To help you nail your first engineering interview, this article can provide you with some great tips before the big day.

The world is beset by intertwined crises: the climate, pandemic, and, increasingly, a crisis in the global food supply. It’s prosaic to say, but as the world’s population increases, more food is needed to sustain it. And regardless of the population size, humanity will only ever have the same amount of land on which to produce its food. This, as one may expect, is a growing tension. Luckily, engineers of all stripes are busy using their expertise, conjuring up innovative solutions to address the issue. Here we take a look at some of the most impressive.

Smart or intelligent materials are described as materials that can achieve a controlled, predictable, variation in one or more of their properties as a direct response to an external stimuli and/or a change in their environment. The external changes can be fluctuations in temperature, light, pressure, magnetic or electrical fields, surrounding moisture, or chemicals. Not all smart materials are the same. Some can change their properties due to more than one of the external stimuli at the same time, and some materials offer greater adaptability due to certain external changes than others.

Software engineers use their knowledge of engineering principles and computer programming languages to develop software. The software they make can perform a variety of different functions, ranging from removing viruses from personal computers and entertaining people with high tech games, to developing and building commercial network systems. Continue reading below to find out about ten of the top software engineering companies in Germany worth considering for a career.

Residential homes and buildings remain some of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gases. A study published in the Climate Policy Info Hub details how European households are responsible for one quarter of both greenhouse gas emissions and total energy consumption in the building sector. German, British, Italian and French households actually have the highest energy consumption of all EU nations.

Based on all the available evidence, climate change is real and it is happening – the planet is experiencing rising temperatures, melting snow-caps, and increased numbers of floods, droughts, and wildfires. 2019 was the second warmest year ever and 2010-2019 was the warmest decade on the planet – ever. Limiting the global temperature rise to well below 2°C this century is one of the defining challenges from the Paris Agreement.

Although its branding as ‘The World's First Major Renewable Energy Economy’ may be slightly generous, Germany is, without question, one of Europe’s leading forces in the ‘renewable revolution’. Throughout its time in office, the CDU has maintained an ambitious green agenda, and Merkel's long-standing international engagement in cutting emissions has earned her the nickname the ‘Climate Chancellor’.

Although artificial intelligence (AI) was born in the 1950’s, only recently has it gained serious traction. There have been many movies over the years depicting robots that can make decisions for themselves from Star Wars through to The Terminator. At the time, they seemed so futuristic. Now, AI is becoming a reality and the movies of yesteryear suddenly don’t seem so far-fetched.

Sometimes, when deciding on a career path, it can be difficult to know how your chosen industry will fare in the future. Are wages likely to increase? Will jobs be hard to come by? Much can feel unknown. To put your mind at ease, NewEngineer is here to help, crystal ball in hand. In the field of engineering it's clear that the current trend is towards information technology and automation, and this is set to remain the case for the foreseeable future – entering these sectors is as safe a bet as you could hope for. While traditional fields such as civil and petroleum engineering are still in high demand, the fastest growing fields are clearly those in the IT sphere. So, without further ado, here are 2021’s most in-demand engineering jobs and the salary potential one should expect from each.

Software engineers are technical professionals that apply engineering principles and methods in the development of programs and operating data for computers. With the increase in demand for technology workers, Canada has opened up plenty of working opportunities for software engineers, making it one of its most in-demand jobs in the country. Careers in software engineering can include job roles such as a programmer analyst, application developer, and lead software development engineer.

As we collectively learn the lessons from our handling of a global pandemic, there is an increasing awareness of the need to be prepared for the big issues our planet faces through the 2020s. In particular, what can engineers do to combat some of the known challenges that we will face? Here we look at 3 global and interconnected societal challenges and ask what engineers can do to help solve them. 

Who said electrical engineers are difficult to buy for?  If you’re not an electrical engineering enthusiast yourself, there’s a good chance you’ll struggle when it comes to finding the right gift for the electrical engineer in your life. Be they a partner, spouse, brother, sister, father, mother, etc., they more than likely all have one thing in common - they’re obsessed with electrical engineering! Well, fortunately for you, we’ve already done the hard work. Here at NewEngineer.com, we’ve spent hours racking our brains and have come up with a list of the top ten best gifts for electrical engineers.

It is amazing how often engineering concepts (or engineered products) have been incorporated into popular culture. In this blog, we consider the impact of engineering on popular films and vice-versa.

Civil engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering that deals with the design and construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other large-scale structures. It has existed since the first human settlement and has advanced with the construction of large projects such as the Pont du Gard in France and the Great Wall in China. More recently, emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and nanotechnologies have been making shockwaves in numerous fields, civil engineering included. Continue reading below for more details on the future of the civil engineering field.
