3 Worst Engineering Disasters Ever
As impressive as some our modern inventions may seem, there is always a chance for our designs to fail. To err is human, as the old adage states. Major endeavors, such as the design and construction of a new building, rely on the collective knowledge of hundreds of individuals. Having said that, the success of any project will depend greatly on the weakest link in the chain of knowledge. This is precisely the reason... (posted by Brandon 2 years 89 days ago.)

Encouraging the Engineers of Tomorrow
According to the National Science Foundation, young women accounted for 43% of all Science and Engineering graduate students in 2006, while enrollment of female students in engineering programs has seen a steady increase every year for the last 20 years. In contrast, after reaching a peak of around 280,000 in 1992, enrollment of young men in engineering programs has been on the gradual decline. In the hopes of...

How to Encourage Young Women to Become Engineers
It's no secret that the Engineering field is utterly dominated by males. For one reason or another, very few women aspire to become an Engineer. "The real challenges for reaching out to young women is to get over the stereotype that this isn't something girls do and then to help them build their confidence," states Betty Shanahan, executive director of the Society of Women Engineers, a national group based...
