Luke Lee, professor of bioengineering at UC Berkeley, has successfully created a synthetic bug-eye. Along with a research team he calls the Bio-Poets, Lee has fashioned microscopic versions of insect’s compound eyes in the laboratory. These devices, made of complex plastic materials, can “see” in all directions simultaneously, making their scope of usage range from [...]

Itamar Willner has built a computer that may one day live inside you. Willner, who constructed the molecular calculator with colleagues at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, believes enzyme-powered computers could eventually be implanted into the human body and used to, for example, modify the release of drugs to match a specific person’s [...]

Global Opportunities in Product Lifecycle
Management (GO PLM)
The SIEMENS GO PLM™ Program was developed to address the essential
business issues our customers face, the shrinking supply of skilled
employees, the gap between current worker skills and the level of performance
required in today’s global manufacturing market. The GO PLM initiative
covers five key education and community development programs: Academic
Partnership, Youth Development, Regional Productivity, Community Relations
and PACE (Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering
Education), with committed software and services grants totally of more
than $4B in 2006. SIEMENS is proud of its industry leadership in this
area. Today we serve more than 9,233 GO PLM Partners worldwide that
collectively train 944,128 students on SIEMENS PLM software each year.
We encourage you to explore the ways GO PLM might benefit you.

Welcome to the world of K–12 engineering!
Introducing engineering into the K–12 classroom connects
science and math concepts to the everyday engineering that surrounds
us.
TeachEngineering.com helps teachers enhance learning, excite students and stimulate interest in science and math through the use of hands–on engineering. With a fully searchable, digital library of standards–based lesson plans, and a myriad of “Living Laboratories” that bring real–world engineering principles into the classroom, TeachEngineering’s comprehensive curricula are hands–on, inexpensive, and relevant to children’s daily lives.
TeachEngineering.com is a joint effort of the University of Colorado, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Colorado School of Mines, Duke University, Oregon State University, and the American Society for Engineering Education, and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation. Bring the world of engineering into the K–12 classroom with TeachEngineering.com. You don’t need knowledge of engineering to use these curricula!
