There are many engineering fields of study as it’s a broad subject with several disciplines and interesting ways to specialise. The list is extensive and includes civil engineering, aerospace and automotive engineering, biomedical and materials science engineering among many others.

Not too long ago, the categories were limited to civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical but new subsets are emerging as technology continues to evolve. To find out which engineering fields of study might be best for you, here is a summary that could shed some light and open a few doors.

Landmines are a common and particularly useful tool used in warfare but what happens when the conflict ends? The truth is, landmines continue to have a devastating effect wherever they’ve been left killing and maiming indiscriminately. The good news is that with today’s available technology, there have been several interesting engineering innovations that can help.

Choosing the right materials for a building project can be tricky as there’s much to consider. Looking at the characteristics of aluminium framework and stainless steel it’s easy to see why the decision should not be taken lightly.

Aluminium and stainless steel may have many similarities but it’s what sets them apart that could determine the final decision. Here are the main aspects that you should investigate when planning your construction project.

The automotive sector has seen some exciting cars in recent times but few are as stunning and technologically sound as the all-new McLaren Artura Hybrid. It is, in fact, the first completely new model the British automaker has produced in over a decade and the first hybrid since the McLaren P1.

The real race towards electrification starts with the new McLaren Artura which they refer to as its first High-Performance Hybrid model. Indeed, the P1 was first but it was a 375-unit special edition whereas the Artura is a full production car complete with a brand new engine and chassis.

Steel construction is becoming increasingly popular all over the world with many of the top architectural wonders consisting of steel, whether it’s structural, carbon or rebar. Many industries rely on steel products and structural steel fabrication services as its more eco-friendly and offers faster construction, among many other benefits.

In the construction world, steel is commonly used for structural support in buildings, bridges and other large-scale projects. These designs are often complex and demanding as they require the highest integrity and capable of withstanding all sorts of conditions. In this article, you’ll learn more about what structural steel fabrication is and why it’s imperative to choose the right engineering company.

Every week we cover something new or interesting but few are as ambitious as this new skyscraper design in Dubai. This incredible feat of engineering (concept or not) comes courtesy of Turkish architect, Hayri Atak who confirmed that this building would be able to rotate with the wind to generate electricity. Does this mean our reality is slowly catching up with science-fiction or is it a bridge too far?

Electrical busbars form the backbone of most power applications and provide the all-important interface between power modules and the outside world. Electrical busbars are a prime example of the latest engineering feats as they make complicated power distribution much easier, cheaper and more flexible.

Even as power applications become smaller, faster and more complex, busbars will remain the primary choice for electrical power distribution. They will also continue to evolve to meet certain requirements and criteria in the future.

In this article, we take a closer look at what electric bussing means, how an electrical busbar system works as well as the benefits and common applications.
