Climate change is one of humanity’s most serious threats. The effects of climate change are already being felt worldwide, from extreme weather events to rising sea levels. According to the United Nations, global temperatures have risen by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since 1901, and sea level rise has accelerated from 1.7 mm annually throughout the 20th century to 3.6 mm annually since 1993. The World Health Organization has reported that climate change leads to death and illness from increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves.

A drought is a year with a below-average water supply, and it’s a natural part of the climate cycle. But climate change has made droughts more frequent, severe, and pervasive. Europe is currently experiencing its worst drought in 500 years, while parts of the Western US are experiencing a “megadrought” that’s been called the worst in 1,200 years.

This year’s National Engineers Week takes place from February 19-25, 2023. First founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), Engineers Week brings together a formal coalition of over 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies and more than 50 corporations and government agencies.

Engineering is an exceptionally dynamic sector. It is continually changing and expanding, and experts, professionals, and academics in the field need to keep pace with all of the latest developments. Conferences provide professionals in various engineering disciplines with knowledge about cutting-edge tools, technology, and skills in the field.

The best gifts for mechanical engineers are tools that help them activate their engineering spirit and build their own creations. Those tools can be knowledge-based, they can be practical, or they can be plain old fun. We’ve gathered a list of potential mechanical engineering gifts that fit every budget and personality.

This guide reveals how to ace a candidate interview for engineering school at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It includes a resource guide for preparation and how to draft stellar responses to common questions.

The current US student loan debt is an astounding $1.73 trillion, with one in four Americans owing money. Unsurprisingly, student loan debt is the second-largest source of debt after mortgages.

The personal statement for engineering school is not just an essay. It has to be smart, engaging, typo-free, and capable of convincing exhausted admissions reviewers that you are a better fit for their program than the other thousands of applicants they are reviewing.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which aims to help individuals protect themselves online. It’s also an opportunity to recognize the important work that cybersecurity professionals do to keep us, our businesses, and our nation’s infrastructure safe.

The concepts of civil engineering are particularly well-suited for the game environment, emphasizing the proper distribution of resources, the management of supply chains, and how the built environment interacts with the lived environment.
