Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

AMES, Iowa – Solar panels and wind turbines, now projected to produce 44% of America’s electricity by 2050, present cybersecurity challenges. They have sensors, controllers, actuators or inverters ...

AMES, Iowa – On a whim, Iowa State University’s Robert C. Brown asked students to crank up the oxygen. Brown and the engineers in his research group had worked for years to develop a thermochemical ...

In short, engineers spend less time reconstructing context and more time building. Will this AI tool replace a non-AI tool or process? Related:AI Agents Transform Engineering Workflows To Speed Design ...

Back by popular demand is another round of free tools that engineers and do-it-yourselfers can use with their various projects (see the previous list Top free DIY tools every EE needs). With the ...

Mathematicians think abstract tools from a field called symplectic geometry might help with planning missions to far-off moons and planets. In October, a Falcon Heavy rocket is scheduled to launch ...

Experts at the table: Finding and eliminating bugs at the source can be painstaking work, but it can prevent bigger problems later in the design flow, when they are more difficult and expensive to fix ...

Engineers need tools. Lots of tools. And there are lots of types of tools available for just about every engineering discipline. The trick is to sort through all these tools and find the ones that are ...
