A team of students from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will be spending part of the summer designing and starting to build solar-powered pasteurization systems for communities in rural Peru.
The group of engineers, led by Assistant Professor Lupita D. Montoya, was one of four student teams nationally to win a highly competitive Summer Engineering Experience in [...]

Mapping the bottom of Sandy Hook Bay

Rutgers scientists use unmanned vessel to comb sea bottom
Today, REMUS was directed to map several acres of the bay near Fort Hancock and a nearby cove to observe fish habitats. The Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve, headquartered in Tuckerton and managed by Rutgers, decided to use the event [...]

Last week representatives from Drexel University were able to join ASEE for a brown bag luncheon seminar in which they discussed their outreach efforts to K-12 students and the global engineering community. When discussing their ENGR 280: Introduction to Global Engineering they mentioned briefly a film they show students in the class. The [...]

Kate McAlpine raps about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator designed to recreate the conditions of the universe after the big bang. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), created LHC with the hope that a peak of the early universe will be the beginning of really understanding it.

Buildings that provide people unique spaces that can be individualized and adapted to fit a varity of specific needs, demonstrate how buildings learn.

As future generations turn through the pages of books at the Monroe Street Library in Madison, Wisconsin, they will have the students of Mike Oliva’s “Special Topics in Engineering” class to thank. Earlier in the year, in response to rising energy costs and a budget shortfall, library officials suggested closing or reducing the open [...]

New York University Tisch School of Art Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) is the art department of tomorrow. It is made up of a living community of technologists, theorists, engineers, designers, and artists. Together they create alternative media projects that encompass creative design and artistic technology. There are many examples on their website [...]

The decisions engineers make today, what technology they create and how they use those technologies will have far reaching implications for the future. The New York Times recently focused on the importance of ethical engineering in the article, Handle With Care, which highlighted the roles engineers play in solving environmental problems and [...]

The internet is getting a lot of attention these days- and a lot of money. An additional $12 million of government funds will go into the GENI project. The 12 million is coming from the National Science Foundation. However, what has been donated to GENI so far is small in comparison [...]

“Green studies are among the fastest-growing degree programs at some universities” (posted Yesterday Green Degrees Environmental Courses Signal a Shift in Learning) making the topic of electric cars one that should interest both students and professors. Engineers will most likely be behind designing and implementing the grid system that will power these cars. gas2.0 [...]
