Software development is hard, but creating good software even harder, especially if your main job something other than developing software. Engineer Your Software! opens the world of en

The creation of new technologies that serve humanity holds the potential to help end global poverty. Unfortunately, relatively little is done in engineering education to support engineers' humanitarian efforts. Here, various strategies are introduced to augment the teaching of engineering ethics with the goal of encouraging engineers to serve as effective volunteers for community service. First...

Attached to this letter, please find an insolation sensitivity study of the HI-STORM EHT thermal model for PFS. We trust that the above information fulfills the verbal commitment made by us in an earlier telecon.

Agrobacterium was identified as the agent causing the plant tumor, crown gall over 100 years ago. Since then, studies have resulted in many surprising observations. Armin Braun demonstrated that Agrobacterium infected cells had unusual nutritional properties, and that the bacterium was necessary to start the infection but not for continued tumor development. He developed the concept of a tumor ...

We described preliminary work on designing a “robot engineer”. Somewhat similar to the idea of a robot scientist, the robot engineer is a closed-loop system that designs tools for a robot, and even complete robots, that are tested in simulation, manufactured and realised using 3D printing. The artefact is then evaluated on real-world tasks, feeding back to the original design. The system builds...

Exponential growth in digital information gathering, storage, and processing capabilities for biological data herald a new age of biology, when entire biological systems can potentially be understood. In order to facilitate human understanding of electronic components, the electronic design automation (EDA) industry has developed clean abstractions and design rules, enabling pervasive design re...
