Not long ago, self-driving cars were science fiction. Today, not so much. Influential companies like Tesla, Uber, Apple, and Google boast dynamic auto-drive programs, and many new startups are following their lead.

For many of us, when we hear the term “hacker” we immediately think of the perpetrators of data breaches. HackerOne is helping to change that. The truth is that hackers are essential in keeping the internet safe. Hackers are intellectually curious, driven by transparency, and motivated to find weaknesses.

When is a computer more than a machine? One person’s concept of artificial intelligence (AI) can be quite different from the next person’s. In its most basic form, artificial intelligence is a process in which machines take cues from their environment and act responsively to achieve a goal.

From developing VR programs and environments to designing more affordable VR technology, engineers have given other experts a means of improving our lives and environment.

The speed, precision, and possibility demonstrated by 3D printing has not escaped the notice of the regenerative medicine branch of bioengineering. Bioprinting, an emerging technology for creating living tissue and organs in the lab, is one way in which biomedical engineers are exploring how to solve the soaring demand for organ transplants.

The mass adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) depends on many of factors, but they all boil down to two things: 1) access to cost-efficient EVs, and 2) a power grid that can support them. This story delves into both.

Among all employment sectors, engineering and technology are stereotypically replete with introverts. While that is the stereotype, many engineering occupations aren’t as introverted as they’ve been portrayed. Read more about four such occupations.

Few professional fields evolve as quickly as engineering. Unlike professionals in many other fields, engineers are taught to innovate quickly, disrupt assumptions, and experiment wildly with technological breakthroughs.

Discover the humanitarian applications of artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, and big data, including exclusive interviews with industry predictions and a discussion of current advances across these sectors of software engineering.

This guide, intended for students and working professionals interested in entering the nascent field of automotive cybersecurity, describes some of the challenges involved in securing web-enabled vehicles, and features a growing number of university programs, companies, and people who are rising to meet those challenges.
