Even more, multiple programs saw meaningful gains including electrical engineering (+10 spots), environmental engineering (+8), and medical engineering (+4), with strong placements across disciplines. "Our advancement in the rankings is a clear indication of the impact of our work and the strength of our faculty, students and staff,” said Dean Levi Thompson. This progress reflects continued investment in research, innovation and student success as we build toward becoming Florida’s premier engineering college. 🤘 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eQ5S4zNt

Cutting-Edge Facility Boosts Prospects for Engineering Students at University of Edinburgh Exciting times ahead for engineering students! The University of Edinburgh has unveiled a state-of-the-art facility set to revolutionise education, research, and industry collaboration in the field of engineering. Located at the King's Buildings campus, The Engineering Forum is designed to foster interdisciplinary working with advanced technical spaces, including high-specification labs and innovation hubs. This purpose-built environment will bring together academics, students, and sector partners, enhancing the learning experience and supporting cutting-edge research. Notably, each teaching room is named after influential women engineers, celebrating their contributions to the field. The new facility will also host the expanded Institute for Energy Systems, focusing on low-carbon energy systems and technology. This £2 million investment from the Wolfson Foundation will create the Wolfson Electrical Power Conversion Lab, set to open this summer. It's exciting to see such substantial commitment to sustainable energy technologies in offshore renewables. What's your take on these new developments? How do you think they will impact the future of engineering education and industry partnerships? #engineering #sustainability #innovation

What happens when students move from learning about engineering concepts to actually engineering something that works? This year's micro/macro elective in #sustainability and #hydroponics moved Upper School students from foundational concepts in engineering and circuitry to designing, budgeting, and constructing fully functioning hydroponic systems now growing in Stuart's C-Corridor. As Aurelia, one of the student engineers, reflected: "The design process was really interesting as there were many different processes to balance and problems to overcome." Nothing worked perfectly on the first try. Students troubleshot plumbing challenges, balanced water flow, adjusted light timing, and refined structural stability. Trial and error was not a setback — it was the curriculum. Failure, as engineers know well, is feedback. In the latest blog by Assistant Head of School and Head of Middle School Robert Missonis, learn how Stuart's micro/macro course with STEM Curriculum Coordinator Anna Kachmarski turns sustainability from a syllabus topic to a system students actually created. When students can see, touch, and sustain the systems they build, learning becomes personal. When pride and autonomy intersect with purpose, engagement rises naturally.

I'm excited to announce the kick-off of our new program, "Tri-Campus Undergraduate Engineering Design and Research Projects in Marine Energy." This is a grant from the Department of Energy to support senior design projects and undergraduate research in the marine energy field - $500k over 4 years that will allow us to host more capstone project with marine energy companies and offer paying summer research opportunities. We've already secured and started several design projects related to marine energy and are now reviewing applicants for the first batch of summer undergraduate research programs. I'm also really proud that this is a tri-campus collaboration, with my co-PIs at UW Tacoma, Heather Dillon, and UW Bothell, Imen Elloumi-Hannachi, PhD, and UW Seattle, Brian Polagye and Christopher Bassett.

Meet Trevor Beugeling! He works in Engineering, Physics at the University of the Fraser Valley, and he is a TIPP recipient for 2025-2026. Trevor's topic is "𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧." This inquiry aims to adapt Engineering 124 so projects emphasize sustainability, a core engineering value. The approach promotes applied learning by connecting theory with practice. Students will develop skills in engineering design and project management, while sustainability and ethics topics provide context for responsible work. Through these projects, students gain job-relevant experience that supports sustainable engineering practices. Early exposure to meaningful, sustainability-focused work can inspire continued engagement in advanced projects throughout their education and careers. The inquiry also supports SDGs 3, 4, and 12 by improving environmental conditions, enhancing hands-on learning, and applying Life Cycle Analysis.

Engineering pathways - from Aerospace to Rail Monash Engineering alumna Panah Fasihi, PhD's career reflects the impact women are making across Australia’s engineering and rail sectors. After completing a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering, Panah went on to pursue doctoral research that examined new ways to improve the durability and performance of railway assets. Her PhD was later recognised with the RTSA - The Railway Technical Society of Australasia PhD Thesis Award, acknowledging the technical rigour and industry relevance of her work. Dr Fasihi explains, “Specifically, my research investigated improving the wear and rolling contact fatigue performance of railway rails through the use of friction modifiers and laser cladding.” Today, she works as a Test and Commissioning Engineer at Alstom, supporting the delivery of the X’Trapolis 2.0 fleet through documentation, assurance, and customer‑facing technical work. She says “Rail stood out to me as a discipline because it brings together mechanical, material performance, electrical, operational and human factors.” Her path into engineering was shaped by a blend of curiosity and capability. “Engineering brings together my interests, drive and skillset, combining logic, creativity, and meaningful impact.” To women considering a career in engineering she advises "Don't underestimate the value of communication skills; being able to explain technical decisions clearly is just as important as making them...Seek out mentors, ask questions, and embrace opportunities to work across disciplines."

In cities like Las Vegas, infrastructure is designed with future demand in mind. Roads, water systems, and energy networks are planned based on projected population growth, development patterns, and long term resource needs. This means engineers are constantly working ahead of the present. They study trends, analyze data, and design systems that can support communities that are still taking shape. These decisions influence how a city functions years from now, which is why long term planning is a central part of engineering practice. At CEEC, students learn how to approach design with this perspective and understand the impact of planning for growth. Follow for more insights into how engineering shapes the future of growing cities.

A big 'Thank You' to Adam Billson from GHD engineering. # Adam came into the school this week to present to our Year 9 Maths and Science groups discussing routes into mechanical engineering and working in the energy sector. Adam shared insights into a major electricity generation project in Suffolk, explaining how engineers help keep the UK’s energy supply reliable. Students also learned about his journey into engineering and the exciting career opportunities available through STEM subjects. Thanks again for inspiring Long Stratton High School pupils! #Education #Careers #Post16 #Norfolk #STEM #Engineering
